Abstract
Site specific data and partition coefficients of stable elements in the Sava River environment have been measured. Distribution of metals in periphyton was similar to those found in sediments from the same locations. The concentration ratios of periphyton over sediments for Zn, As, Cd and Pb exceeded one. Thus the content of these metals in periphyton provides more information about anthropogenic pollution than either sediment or water samples collected at the periphyton site. In addition, the enrichment factors of the most abundant metals in the sediment samples have been calculated.
