Accumulation and spatial distribution of heavy metals and arsenic in bottom sediments of coastal areas of the Crimean Peninsula in 2016–2018
Based on a summary of the expeditionary observations results, special features of accumulation and spatial distribution of heavy metals and arsenic in the surface layer of bottom sediments in the coastal areas of Crimea for the period of 2016–2018 are presented. A correlation between the level of metal accumulation and the granulometric composition of bottom sediments was detected. In the areas with minimal anthropogenic pressure, finer fractions accumulate large amounts of metals and arsenic. Increased industrial pressure in the investigated area leads to the accumulation of high concentrations of metals and arsenic by coarser fractions. The results obtained allow to identify areas of high concentrations of the studied microelements and determine the trends of changes in their total content.
