Abstract Trace elements (TEs) constitute a major part of pollution, which can induce detrimental impact on public health. A precise analysis these in the environment is an important parameter evaluation population's quality life. This work aims to quantify concentration some trace elments enviromental samples using Istrumental Neutron Activation Analysis technique (INAA); also comparative study between three sampling points (Draria, Baraki and Reghaia) were done. The Samples standards irradiated for 6 h at “NUR” research reactor with thermal neutron flux 10 13 n cm −2 s −1 , analyzed by gamma ray spectrometry HPGe detector. Seventeen assessed: Ba, Br, Ce, Co, Cr, Hf, Fe, La, Nd, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sm, Sr, Yb Zn this study. accuracy method was evaluated analyzing Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) Standard (SRMs). data obtained may contribute obtaining information about possible rank pollution different capabilities elemental bioaccumulation lichens.
