Sažetak
The distributions of cadmium and lead in marine sediments, surrounding soil, stones, and atmospheric particulate matter were determined at different locations in Split, Croatia. The determination of cadmium and lead was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry while atmospheric particulate matter samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry. Cadmium concentrations in the stones and soil were between 0.2 to 0.6 µg g -1 and 0.2 to 0.9 µg g -1 . The concentration in the atmospheric particulate matter were < 0.2 µg m -2 d -1 (detection limit) to 1.4 µg m -2 d -1 . Lead concentrations in marine sediments, stones, soil, and atmospheric particulate matter ranged from 31.2 to 144.4 µg g -1 , 9.3 to 29.4 µg g -1 , 11.3 to 66.1 µg g -1 , and 0.5 to 241.4 µg m -2 d -1 , respectively. The relationship between determined parameters was established using principal component analysis and the results are in agreement with the assumption that anthropogenic sources play important roles for lead and cadmium distribution.
