Heavy metal and PCB spatial distribution pattern in sediments within an urban c...
Ferreira, Célia Dias; Pato, Rosinda L.; Varejão, Jorge B.; Tavares, Alexandre O.; Ferreira, António J. D.Purpose: This work analyzes polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and heavy metal contamination in fluvial sediments and soils in an urban catchment, according to the geo-accumulation index and to soil and sediment quality guidelines. The catchment is located in Coimbra, Portugal, being affected by frequent flooding, and its main stream is a tributary to one of the major rivers in Portugal (Mondego). Given the presenc...
