abstract:
The study was conducted in the Parsêta, Radew, Gêsia, Li¶nica and Dêbnica rivers in 2007 and 2008 (during summer and autumn). There were notable contents of the selected heavy metals (Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb) at ten measurement places located in the Parsêta basin that included cities and villages from Parsêta spring in Parsêcko to its estuary in Ko³obrzeg, where the contamination could possibly be related to local industry, sewage outlets, waste dumps and shipyard works. Bigger content of heavy metals was found in measurement places that were closer to Parsêta estuary into the Baltic sea, and especially strongly it could be observed in waters of the Radew and Parsêta at Karlino and in waters of Parsêta at Ko³obrzeg and Bia³ogard. Moreover, at most measurement places, higher amounts of zinc, copper and lead were noted in waters that were taken for analysis in autumn and also in the whole second year of the study (this time including also manganese).
