abstract: A time integrated sediment sampler has been developed and applied in the investigations. The sampler has been implemented in the lowland Zago¿d¿onka river near the town of Radom. During the investigation period (2003-2004), seven samples from two river gauges have been taken. The low angle laser light scattering method has been applied for suspended sediment size distribution determination. The d50 varied from 54 μm to 124 μm and the dm from 79 μm to 159 μm. The investigations give an initial estimation of suspended sediment sizes in the Zago¿d¿onka river.
