Concentrations of heavy metals in sediments of the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia were studied during 1991-1993. Most of the concentrations reported are for the surface sediments, with background concentrations from deeper downcore included for comparison. The metals studied were mercury, lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, iron, lithium, vanadium, titanium, arsenic, chromium, nickel, manganese and aluminium. The new values for the Gulf of Finland are compared with concentrations for the Gulf of Bothnia. Explanations for the differences in values are suggested and distribution patterns are described. Concentrations of all elements are clearly higher in the easternmost part of the Gulf of Finland and throughout the Gulf the values of total organic carbon, aluminium, chromium, manganese and cadmium are higher in the surface sediments than in the Gulf of Bothnia.
1991年至1993年期间，对芬兰湾和波的尼亚湾沉积物中的重金属浓度进行了研究。报告的大多数浓度数据针对表层沉积物，同时纳入了来自岩芯深处的背景浓度以供比较。所研究的金属包括汞、铅、镉、锌、铜、铁、锂、钒、钛、砷、铬、镍、锰和铝。将芬兰湾的新数据与波的尼亚湾的浓度进行了比较。对数值差异给出了解释，并描述了分布模式。芬兰湾最东部所有元素的浓度明显更高，且在整个海湾，表层沉积物中总有机碳、铝、铬、锰和镉的值均高于波的尼亚湾。
