摘要: Thirty-seven surface sediment samples were taken in the Pontevedra Ria (NW Iberian Peninsula), and metal concentrations (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) organic/inorganic parameters determined order to obtain a mapping of their distribution, background values status contamination. Background obtained from Metal/Fe ratios by regression lines using “clean” stations. Contamination was assessed use normalized enrichment factors (NEF). The middle outer parts ria, mostly influenced oceanic water scarce anthropogenic activities, showed low/null contamination (NEF ∼ 1) for all metals studied. However, inner part where most (urban industrial) activities are located, significant Zn, with NEF up 5.2, 18, 3.4, respectively. rest not significantly affected. Due hydrographic characteristics rias coastal systems, contami...
