Abstract
To determine heavy metals in interstitial water from Baltic sea sediments a sampling method with subsequent voltammetric determination is described. Copper, lead, zinc and cadmium are determined in the UV-digested samples of interstitial water by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry while nickel is determined by adsorption voltammetry. The determination of five metals in one sample in a wide concentrations range is possible using a low cost apparatus. The profiles of the metal concentrations in interstitial water of subsequent layers of sediments, sampled from Puck Bay, Gdańsk Bay, the Bornholm area and the Słupsk area are presented.
