This article focuses on metal contamination in river sediments. Louisiana's coastal zone is extremely valuable to the sustained economic growth of the region. Not only does the economy depend heavily on the oil and natural gas industry but also on a highly productive fishery. Sixty-six percent of the total commercial seafood catch in the Gulf of Mexico since 1950 has been attributed to south Louisiana. In estuarine systems, trace metals sources are both natural and anthropogenic. It is often difficult to distinguish between these two sources due to highly variable concentrations in the water column. |
