Popis: Suspended matter and bottom sediments have been investigated in the Adige River estuary (Northern Adriatic Sea) and their role in the heavy metals transfer from land to sea. The observed similarity of the geochemical and mineralogical composition between the riverine suspended matter and the marine sediments just at the Adige mouth reveals that most of the riverborne suspended particles settle in the prodelta area together with the associated heavy metals. Among the various toxic elements examinated, chromium has a peculiar behaviour, which indicates the man's influence on its biogeocycle.
