Different applications

 

Similar studies shows a significant correlation between sediment texture and metal contamination and also between TOC content and texture. The spatial distribution of metals and TOC is driven by sediment texture with lower concentrations in sandy sediment.

The table show a summary of trace metal contents in surface sediments of intertidal Bohai Bay. The average upper continental crust values and related values reported for surface sediments from some of the other coastal areas of China are also shown for comparison purpose. Content unit is µg/g dry weight for all elements.
