Distribution and diagenesis of trace metals in marine sediments of a coastal Mediterranean area: St-Georges Bay (Lebanon)

Résumé

St-Georges Bay (Lebanon) is an open bay, to the Mediterranean Sea and it is exposed to numerous anthropogenic activities such as industrial effluents, non-treated wastewater discharge and maritime activities leading an increasing chemical contamination especially with trace metals. Contamination with trace metals (Cu, Cd, Co, Pb, As, Ag and Hg) and the influence of early diagenesis on their distribution are studied on both sediments and waters transect. For this purpose, sediment cores were collected, then treated under inert atmosphere to retrieve pore waters and solid fraction. The area appeared to be seriously impacted by the transport through Beirut River and/or by direct inputs, and the recent landscaping done with dumpsite material. The sediments showed a significant level of contamination. Element mobility was studied by selective extraction on sediments. The mobility of the studied trace elements from solid fraction to pore waters is controlled by Fe/Mn cycle and organic matter.
