Abstract
This article reviews the existing data on trace elements (Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb)) in sediments and biota from Songkhla Lake, a shallow coastal lagoon in Southern of Thailand between 1998 and 2012. At present, the situation of those trace elements in sediments show moderate concentration levels for Cadmium and Lead. High levels for Arsenic have been found in the Outer Section of Songkhla Lake especially at the mouths of Samrong, U-Taphao and Phawong canals. The accumulation of trace elements in fish muscle tissue was well within limits for human consumption.
