Description 1091-1100
Present study highlighted significant anthropogenic
contributions in terms of heavy metal pollution in Mandovi estuarine complex.
Sediment core was collected which was analyzed for different physico-chemical
parameters. Sediments were found to be mature, quartz rich and weathering does
not seem to play any role. Biological activities were significant due to
abundance of S and OC in the sediments which along with the redox conditions
controlled the metal variability. Sediments were found to be enriched with
respect to heavy metals like Pb and Mn indicating anthropogenic influence in
this region.
