“…The upper part (0-50 cm) of the GD1 contains higher metal values than the lower part, which we might infer to be the presence of anthropogenic input. This idea is also supported by Sarı et al (2018). Mean EF values show that the upper part (0-12 cm) of core sediment was significantly contaminated by Cr, As and Pb.…”

“…The various works have pointed out that heavy metal contamination particularly in the aquatic ecosystem arose for more than a decade on a global scale. There are a few publications on marine ecosystem pollution in the region of the Black Sea using several analysis methods (Akyüz et al 2003;Görür et al 2012;Sur et al 2012;Alkan et al 2015Alkan et al , 2020Ozseker et al 2016;Baltas et al 2017c;Ozseker and Eruz 2017;Sarı et al 2018;Ustun Odabaşı et al 2018). To refrain from the contamination of the aquatic environment, the European Union countries have taken measurements for defining heavy metal pollution.…”

“…The increased levels in the Black Sea are likely related to the riverine discharge transporting sediments that can contain large amounts of trace elements. Rivers are believed to be the main source of the heavy metal pollution in the Black Sea [102][103][104]. The waters of the western and northwestern Black Sea are freshened by two major rivers in the region, the Danube and the Dnieper, and increased levels of heavy metals were indeed observed near the Danube mouth [105].…”
