Abstract
The origins, nature and degree of contamination of freshwater and marine sediments by lead, zinc and cadmium are discussed. Consideration is given to what is known about the formation and composition of natural sediments and the pathways by which heavy metals are eventually incorporated into such sediments. The effects of the additional flux of heavy metals resulting from man's activities are then assessed.
