Distribution and enrichment of elements in sediment are influenced by their texture, mineralogical composition, and physical transport. The vertical concentration profiles of sixteen elements in core sediment samples, namely Na, Mg, Al, K, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Sr, and Pb were measured using the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. To check the anthropogenic input various indices (enrichment factor, contamination factor, index of geoaccumulation and pollution load index) were calculated and compared. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
