Abstract |
In order to develop a current inventory of metals contamination of the Elizabeth River, sediment samples were collected at 96 stations in February of 1974 and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Pb, Zn, Al, and Fe using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Concentration levels were compared with levels found in another highly industrialized harbor complex, other estuarine systems and in Chesapeake Bay sediments geographically removed from the study area. Distribution patterns of various metals are outlined for reference to various inputs. Possible mechanisms for transport and distribution are discussed. |
