Interpretation of heavy metal concentration in the surficial sediment from the Makirina Bay using aluminium as reference element.

Heavy metal concentrations were studied in surficial sediment from Makirina Bay to determine whether natural or anthropogenic enrichment of the metals is occurring. Metal concentrations of Al, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined using inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. The coastal sediment of the Makirina Bay in the central Adriatic Sea represents an important source of healing marine mud which could be used for medical treatment. The sediment constitutes mostly of clay minerals, quartz, dolomite and calcite. Halite, gypsum, aragonite and pyrite are also present.
