This study gave the first report on the biennial metal divergence in the sediments of Cochin
Estuarine system (CES). Surface sediments from 6 prominent regions of CES were sampled
in 2009 and 2011 for the geochemical and environmental assessment of trace metals (Cd,
Co, Cr, Cu, Pb Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni and Zn).Besides texture, total organic carbon (TOC) and
CHNS were also done. The contamination and risk assessment were performed by
determining geochemical indices. Comparison with sediment quality guidelines were done
to assess the probability for ecotoxicological threat to the estuary. Results showed that the
measured heavy metals had varied spatial distribution patterns, indicating that they had
complex origins and controlling factors |
