Some major and trace element contents of sediment samples from four sampling stations in Lake Egridir have been analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean levels (μg.g-1) of Ca, Mg, Cu, Mn, Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cd for each station and the mean level of each metal for the four sampling stations together with the statistical evaluation of data are listed. The results indicate that, although the amounts of these metals fall within the range of unpolluted sediments, the fact that the samples from the second and third stations contained higher metal levels indicate the effect of some pollution in these areas.
