The chapter presents a review of recent studies aimed at quantifying trace metal concentrations in the sediments of Moreton Bay (Australia) and at describing sedimentation patterns. The importance of monitoring metal contaminants in the Bay's sediments together with water quality parameters is assessed and provides an overview of areas where contamination occurred in the past and of areas most likely to be impacted by metal contamination in the future.

Abstract
The chapter presents a review of recent studies aimed at quantifying trace metal concentrations in the sediments of Moreton Bay (Australia) and at describing sedimentation patterns. The importance of monitoring metal contaminants in the Bay's sediments together with water quality parameters is assessed and provides an overview of areas where contamination occurred in the past and of areas most likely to be impacted by metal contamination in the future.File in questo prodotto:
