Abstract

Zones of impact on the sediment composition are identified due to the following sources: a) dumping in Gornostay Bay, b) the cities of Vladivostok and Bol'shoy Kamen', and c) the Razdol'naya River. The Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu, and Ag contents in bottom sediments in regions affected by human action are controlled by the positions and outputs of the pollution sources. The distribution of the lithophile elements (Mn, Ni, and Co) in the bottom sediments of the gulf have been governed mainly by natural processes. -from Journal Summary
