The heavy metals contamination of the lower Sebou sediments was studied to determine the average degree of contamination and to assess the extent of anthropogenic contamination. The spatial and temporal distribution of these metals and the results of the contamination indices showed very serious metallic contamination principally of Cr, Pb and Hg. However accurate analysis of the situation in the river mouth was complicated by the fact that the metals could be moved by the tides and currents.
