Description

This work is an approach to study the determination of heavy metals in sediments. It analyzer the different ways by means of which heavy metals are introduced into the river sediments, as well as their toxicity in the total concentration and in each of the species of the system. This study presents the main operation methods in sediments. One of the most relevant and suitable method to identify the way in which metals are joined in the different stages (phases) of sediments is the sequential extraction proposed by the MS and T from the Buorean of Certified Reference (European Community). Its also discussed the possible ways to determine if the presence of metals is caused by the anthropogenic action or by lithogenic cause
