Access to drinking water is one of the largest problems of modern times, and water
pollution is a growing problem worldwide. Increased concentrations of different toxic
substances, especially heavy metals, affect biodiversity and are hazardous for human
health. Sediment may act as a sink for a huge number of toxic substances and should,
therefore, be investigated in addition to water, as it contains a record of previous pollution.
Geochemical investigations of aquatic sediments in freshwater and marine environments
present excellent insights into the state of pollution of investigated water bodies and their
ecosystems. The chemical composition of sediment is informative, both in investigations of
mineral resources of a particular region for mining purposes and in tracing contamination
from different sources. Pollution affects all sources of drinking water—ground, spring,
river, and lake. The interaction of water and sediment is of special importance, as sediment
can also rel...ease heavy metals and act as a source of pollution.
