Résumé
Sediment quality caused by heavy metals was investigated in the Mirs Bay and Tolo Harbor, Hong Kong, China. Samples were collected in January and July, 2010. One-way analysis of variance showed that sediment quality variables (Fe, Zn, Mn, Pb, V, Cu, Cr, Ba, Ni and As) were significantly different (p < 0.05) among the sampling areas, whereas the average concentration of V, Eh and Ba exhibited the significant seasonal variations (p < 0.05) between January and July. The spatial pattern of heavy metals (Pb, Zn and Cu) can probably be attributed to anthropogenic and tidal flushing influence in the harbor. Both geo-accumulation index (I
