Abstract
The behaviour of natural geochemical carriers was studied in Ribeira Bay (SE coast of Brazil). Results show that distribution patterns of heavy metals in superñcial sediments are intimately associated with the stability of geochemical carriers and the hydrodynamic pattern of the bay.Keywords
