Abstract: This paper reports on the present (as of 1982) levels of cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, manganese and zinc in Belfast Lough surficial sediments. Results are given in ppm dry weight and are compared with other localities abroad. Results are discussed in relation to location in the lough and location of input of pollutants.
