Abstract

The end-point treatment of point pollution sources is the best way to improve the quality of water and prevent coastal pollution, all over the world. Nevertheless, non-point pollution sources that influence the quality of surface water are serious concerns. Terrestrial pollution was deposited and accumulated over the estuary and coastal areas by adhering to the suspended particles in the rivers. Therefore, the pollution status and its history can be understood by analyzing and monitoring the sediments in the estuary as well as in the lagoon area. Sediments not only act as the carrier of pollution, but also as a potential
