The sediments with the highest metal contents are found in the harbour basins of Bremen and in the mud shoal near Nordenham. Association types of the metals can be divided into 2 groups: metals with relatively high potential of mobilization, such as Cd, Zn, Mn, and Ni and those that are strongly bound on particles - Cr, Cu, Pb and Fe. An estimation of the bioavailability of these metals based on chemical extraction studies is relevant to problems encountered during disposal of dredged materials.enhttp://doku.b.tu-harburg.de/doku/lic_ohne_pod.phpJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-tubdok-472110.15480/882.39811420/40010.15480/882.398930768118Journal Article
