Dissolved, weakly and strongly bound particulates Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Co, Ni and Fe have been measured in the surface water sampled from eleven stations in Xiamen Harbor by clean laboratory methods and GFAAS. The average concentrations found in dissolved fractions are Cu:0.41±0.12; Pb:0.014±0.008; Zn:0.084±0.043; Cd:0.022±0.004; Co:0.009±0.004; Ni:0.15±0.02; and Fe:0.15±0.02 μg/kg, which make up 62%, 6%, 12%, 85%, 5%, 25% and <1% of the total metals in the surface water respectively. The results are mucn lower than those reported previously in the coastal waters of China. Industrial sources of trace metal contamination are likely responsible for the distribution of trace metals.
