Speciation of Cu,Cd and Pb in coastal waters of Kandla-Porbander Shelf region, west coast of India

Abstract

Disserved, labile and non-labile concentrations of Cu,Cd and Pb in coastal waters of Kandla-Porbander Shelf region have been analysed. Labile form of these three elements are dominant over their non-labile form. While labile forms of ph and Cd are relatively enriched in surface due to anthropogenic inputs as well as terrestrial run-off, the sources of labile Cu is of marine origin.
