Abstract
The distribution of zinc, cadmium, lead and copper in different grain-size fractions of sediment from the upper part of the Limski Kanal (North Adriatic Sea) has been studied. The results are discussed in relation to the textural, mineralogical and chemical characteristics of the sediments. Sediment particles <10 μm normally contained a high proportion of all studied metals. The coarser particles (> 63–300 μm), depending on the sampling site, incorporate metals in amounts similar to, or even higher than, the finest grains. Metal distributions are significantly correlated with the organic material in the sediments from the Limski Kanal. A significant difference was obtained for metal concentrations between sediments collected in June and December 1979.
