Date 2007-06-27 Abstract Since the Industrial Revolution, mankind has disturbed the natural functioning of river floodplains by a high input of contaminants in the environment. Riverine suspended matter is the most important source for elevated levels of contaminants in floodplain areas. Previous research mainly focused on processes affecting the distribution of contaminants on the floodplain areas themselves, while the influence of the ultimate polluting source, river suspended matter, is poorly understood. Only minor knowledge is available on the temporal and spatial variability of contaminants in suspended matter. This research focuses on the variability in contamination degree of both suspended matter and floodplain sediment for the Dutch part of the river Meuse.
