Abstract
Surface sediments of Lake Balaton still exhibit low heavy metal concentrations which ‐ with the exception of Pb, Cd and Zn ‐ do not exceed “average shale”; values. A low level of industrialization in the catchment area and a dilution of riverine suspended material by carbonates precipitated within the lake are responsible for the observed distribution pattern.Keywords
