Metals in bottom sediments of Šventoji Port area (Lithuania)
Kęstutis JOKŠAS, Rimutė STAKĖNIENĖ, Arūnas GALKUS, Lina LAGUNAVIČIENĖ

The article deals with the distribution of metals (Me) Cr, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg, V, Al and the causality of their spatial dynamics in the bottom sediments of Šventoji port waters. Areas of highest geochemical anomalies where Me / Al values exceed the calculated background values 1.1 times were distinguished in the zones of marine sand, alluvium and thindispersed material of sedimentation by the method of aluminium normalization. The highest load of all metals, except Cd, falls on the area of the branch to the Eastern basin in the zone of alluvial sedimentation and the sedimentation zone of thindispersed material in the Eastern basin.

Keywords: bottom sediments, metals, normalization, Šventoji Port, zones of sedimentation
