Description
The aims of the study are:
- to better understand the biogeochemical processes influencing the immobilization and/or remobilization of metals in the sedimentary phase
- to estimate possible fluxes of metals from the sediment to the aqueous phase more
Six sites in the Scheldt estuary, chosen as a function of bottom characteristics and salinity gradient, are studied seasonally. Instruments used : (1) GFAAS, Perkin Elmer; (2) ICP-MS, VG; (3) Auto analyzer, Technicon; (4) C/N analyzer, Carlo Erba
