Heavy metals were released significantly from the anoxic polluted sediment with changes in pH and redox state. During the resuspension at stable pH (7.5) heavy metals in bottom sediment of the river Elbe were released slowly into the solution.enhttp://doku.b.tu-harburg.de/doku/lic_ohne_pod.phpGeowissenschaftenEarth sciencesChange in pH and release of heavy metals in the polluted sediments of Hamburg-Harbour and the downstream Elbe during oxidationConference Paperurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-tubdok-520610.15480/882.44511420/44710.15480/882.445930768298Conference Paper
