In this study, surface sediment samples were collected from five different traverses along the innershelf of Bay of Bengal, off Chennai, India during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The results of Spearmen correlation matrix, factor and cluster analysis, enrichment and contamination factor analysis, and geoaccumulation index of the heavy metals analyzed in the collected surface sediment were discussed. The level of both enrichment and contamination factor are shown in following order Cd > Cu > Cr > Ni > Pb > Co > Zn > Mn > Fe > Hg.

N2 - The study of heavy metal distribution in coastal surface sediments is an important component in understanding the exogenic cycling as well as in assessing the effect of anthropogenic influences on the marine ecosystem. In this study, surface sediment samples were collected from five different traverses along the innershelf of Bay of Bengal, off Chennai, India during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The results of Spearmen correlation matrix, factor and cluster analysis, enrichment and contamination factor analysis, and geoaccumulation index of the heavy metals analyzed in the collected surface sediment were discussed. The level of both enrichment and contamination factor are shown in following order Cd > Cu > Cr > Ni > Pb > Co > Zn > Mn > Fe > Hg. The geoaccumulation index suggests that Cd and Cu are strongly to extremely pollute the sediments in both seasons. The results strongly indict anthropogenic sources for moderate input of Cd and Cu in to the innershelf of Chennai coast.
