Geochemical characteristics of heavy metals concentration in sediments of Quiberon Bay Waters, South Brittany, France

Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in the bottom sediments from 93 sites at Quiberon bay were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) after acid extraction. The ranges of the concentration in the sediments are as follows: 27.3 µg/g (Cr), 11.6 µg/g (Co), 13.8 µg/g (Cu), 42.0 µg/g (...
