| The residual flow lines of the Belgian coast are more or less parallel to the coast except in the area where the northeasterly flowing watermass coming from the Channel encounters the southwesterly-oriented Scheldt outflow. The result is a residual hydrodynamical front with, at the northern side, a less saline estuarine watermass, and at the southern side a more saline marine watermass. From the steady-state salinity pattern, diffusion coefficients perpendicular to the residual flow were deduced; they ranged from 21 to 108 m².s<sup>-1</sup>.The steady-state profiles of dissolved metals versus salinity indicate a dilution effect in the coastal-estuarine watermass and almost constant concentration in the marine watermass. Offshore fluxes of Cd,... |

| Heavy metal concentrations in total particulate suspended matter and size fractionated particulate suspended matter above the Southern Bight of the North Sea have been assessed. Most of the samples were collected from a light vessel; the total sampling period covered about 70 days at sea. Stringent precautions were taken during sampling, storage, handling and analysis of the samples. As a conclusion, we found that on a long-term basis the aerosol concentrations above the North Sea have a fairly homogeneous composition, but short-term variations probably resulting from point emissions were observed. The cascade impactor results indicated that Pb, Cu, Cd and Zu were carried by submicrometer aerosols, Na, Fe, Mn and Al by supermicrometer aerosols. Most of the... |

| Surface waters, sediments and the polychaete <i>Nereis diversicolor</i> were sampled in the Scheldt Estuary between 1990 and 1994. In surface waters particulate Hg (Hg<sub>p</sub>) concentrations ranged from 350-1610 ng g-¹. They are essentially controlled by physical mixing of polluted fluvial particulates with relatively unpolluted marine particulates, but unaffected by seasonal changes. Dissolved Hg species, on the other hand, show large seasonal variations essentially controlled by the redox conditions in the estuary, as well as by bacterial and phytoplankton activity. Total dissolved (Hg<sub>TD</sub>) concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 3.0 ng l-¹ with 10 to 90% as reactive Hg. High concentrations of... |

| In this study we have investigated air-sea exchanges in the Belgian coastal area located in the Southern Bight of the North Sea. Since 1980 the tropospheric aerosol contents for the trace elements Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn and for the reference elements Al , Fe, Na have been monitored on an intermittent basis from a maritime sampling platform (Light-Vessel West-Hinder; position: 51°23.5'N- 2°21.5'E, fig. 1). During 1981 sampling campaigns at sea were paralleled by sampling campaigns on land, in the coastal area (natural reserve De Blankaert, located at 20 Km inland), in order to allow for a better evaluation of the specific source or sink role of the sea. No major source of pollution exists between the maritime and the continental sampling sites. During these... |

| Dissolved and particulate metal concentrations assessed in the Scheldt estuary in the period 1978-1995, yield a clear indication that the levels of all metals decreased significantly. A comparison with other estuaries classifies the Scheldt as being moderately polluted for all metals in the dissolved phase, but as being fairly high polluted in the particulate phase, especially for Cd. However, even the dissolved metal concentration fractions in the Scheldt are still between 10 to 50 times enriched compared to total metal concentrations in unpolluted seas and oceans. |
