Paper abstract:Present study is an attempt to evaluate the contribution of anthropogenic effluents on mercury pollution in sediments. Comparison of mercury concentrations from different sources indicated that domestic effluent was prevalent. Insufficient control on waste collecting and absence of sewage treatment are considered the principal causes of mercury pollution in estuarine sediments.
