- Abstract
The article discusses the research on the stored sediment-associated heavy metals along the channelized Odra River in Poland. The area was repeatedly channelized during the first half of the 18th century to the turn of the 20th century. At this time, partially filled groyne fields were broken down by new bank lines and groyne systems. Researchers found concentrations of zinc, lead, cadmium and copper deposits which exceed local geochemical background levels by more than 60, 40, 15 and 10 times, respectively. These facts indicated that moderately polluted sediments are stored directly along the banks of River Odra.
