Popis: The distribution of heavy metals has been examined in water and bottom sediments of small streams within the Losinyi Ostrov (Elk Island) National Park (Moscow) that are undergoing manmade impacts. We demonstrated that pollution caused by motor vehicles causes seasonal changes in the general composition of the river water and pore solutions in bottom sediments. The strongest pollution of water and sediments was found near the CMHW (Circum-Moscow Highway) (Zn, Pb, Cu). This is expressed in the growth of mobile forms of metals in sediments. We have shown, using Zn as an example, the pollution transformation in the snow-river water-suspension-bottom sediment system.
