Popis: Pollution by heavy metals in estuarine and coastal sedimentary complexes has assumed such proportions that its study is urgent. The task belongs jointly to geologists and chemists. Environmental impact is not limited to the waters, nor to the immediate bottom surface. The paper examines recent developments in analysis techniques going back some ten years. Decomposition of sample proceedings are compared to other methods. Grain size effects and norms are touched upon. Finally, analytical methods are assessed.
