ABSTRACT

In order to investigate the geochemical characteristics of surface sediments in lowerYeongsan river system, sediment samples from the main stream of Yeongsan river, Gomakwonand Hampyeong streams were collected and analyzed for grain size and metal and organiccarbon contents. The sediment types of the streams widely vary from pebble to mud. The metalcontents in the sediments are mainly dependent on grain size of the sediments, geology aroundthe streams and organic matter contents from the domestic sewage. Enrichment factor (EF)representing the degree of metal contamination in the sediments are relatively low in the studyarea. But, high Zn and Pb values seem to be from the study area, partly.
