This study investigated the relationships between metal/metalloid concentrations, mineralogy and grainsize distribution in order to derive natural pre-development concentrations in Darwin Harbour intertidal sediment. It also aimed to define the degree to which anthropogenic activity have enriched metal/metalloid concentrations in different parts of the harbour to help identify their sources and dispersion patterns.,
