| Water | 8.27 | 20 | 105.9 | 7,350 | 3,372 | 1,132 | |
| Sedimentc | 8.30 | 38 | 159.2d | 3.73 | 21,060 | 5,791 | 7,127 |
a
The concentration in water is expressed in milligrams per liter, and the concentration in sediment is expressed in milligrams per kilogram.
b
Value obtained after ashing.
c
Values were obtained by using 1:1 (wt/vol) water extracts, and the results are expressed on a wet weight basis unless indicated otherwise.
d
Value expressed on a dry weight basis.
