Abstract
⺠Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were measured in sediments of intertidal Bohai Bay. ⺠Sediment grain size plays a key role in controlling the heavy metal geochemistry. ⺠Sediments with high clay and silt content have been polluted to various degrees. ⺠Cr prominently contributes the most to the contamination. ⺠The combination of the six studied metals may have a 21% probability of being toxic.
