Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Most measured sediment metal concentrations were within geochemical background limits.
- Observation Sediment Zn and Cu sporadically exceeded background in central city stations.
- Observation Sediment Ni exceeded geochemical background at all researched positions.
- Observation Słupsk bottom sediments were classified as slightly contaminated.
- Observation The least contaminated river segments had low or moderate riverbed transformation.
- Observation The highest Zn, Mn, Cu and Ni load occurred at stations with highly transformed riverbeds.
- Association Mn in sediment correlated strongly and positively with Mn in aboveground and underground Glyceria sprouts.
- Method / resource The authors identify Glyceria maxima sprouts as potentially useful for Mn biomonitoring.
