The purpose of this article is to study, result of metal concentration in two-sediment cores from Persian Gulf. Age of sediment is determined by C14 isotope method and bulk concentration is determined by ICP. This research output shows that, age of BandareAbbas core back to 9660 and Bushehr core to 15,600 years ago. Also,concentration in BandareAbbas and Bushehr cores respectively change as, As (1.08-11.76 Vs 5.2-13.09), Ba (15.03-129.5 Vs 73.9-120.4), Cd (0.09-0.46 Vs 0.09-0.18), Li (5.66-58.5 Vs 15.3-33.4), Mo (0.3-0.75 Vs 0.3-0.8), Mg (7928.4-15,503.9 Vs 13,102.8-17,227.8), Mn (110.6-566.4 Vs 279.3-429.1), Na (8905.47-27,993.3 Vs 9357.7-27,541.4), Ni (13.3-110.3 Vs 37.1-88.4), Pb (0.5-42.5 Vs 2.5-13.6), Sr (407.5-1773.2 Vs 440.3-1596.9), Zn (13.05-71.2Vs22.4-50.5), Fe (0.46-4.07 Vs 1.7-3.18), Ca (9.25-23.3 Vs 13.8-19.2) and Al (0.62-8.15 Vs 2.48-4.65). Moreover different pollution index investigation represent that except Ca, the rest of the metal elements do not show pollution.
