摘要: In this study, the spatial distribution of metals and sources metal pollution were investigated along Northern Shelf Cyprus (Mediterranean Sea). The concentrations heavy organic matter measured in sediments collected from Gemi Konagi, Girne, Gazi Magusa areas. Measured values compared with Mediterranean background concentrations. Cu Zn at Konagi area all Cr higher than backgrounds. levels evaluated by enrichment factor (EF), contamination (Cf) degree (Cd). EF results indicated that probably originated natural processes mining activities. Cf Hg low contamination. Cd (degree contamination) for also showed a study area. Metal numerical Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQG) an environmental r...
