    Metale w osadach dennych jeziora Wigry
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Prosowicz, Dorota
    Concentrations of metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn) were analyzed in main types of the bottom sediments of Wigry Lake. The concentrations of metals depend strongly on the lithological type of the sediment (carbonate gyttja, lacustrine chalk, detritous gyttja, clastic sediments). Results of the study were compared to geochemical backround and bottom sediments of different lakes. The highest concentrations of metals were found in detritous gyttja from Hańczańska Bay - the most polluted part of investigated area. Correlations between metals were presented. Most of presented metals in recent sediments of Wigry Lake occur bellow maximum allowable levels determined for unpolluted sediments. Concentrations of many elements in the recent sediments of Wigry Lake are much lower compared to those in many lakes in Poland and in the world.
