The chemical and physical speciation of trace metals in fine grained overbank flood sediments in the Tyne Basin, North-East England

Description :
Selective extractions and heavy-liquid analyses were used to assess the chemical forms of sediment-associated metal and the relationship between grain size, density and metal concentration and to identify sources of metalliferous material. The results are also discussed in a wider context of particulate metal transport in rivers and recommendations are made for refining density-based models of metal dispersal.
