Abstract
Heavy metals were identified as relevant pollutants of the Danube River some decades ago. This chapter reviews and evaluates the concentrations of heavy metals measured in the Danube and its tributaries by the monitoring activities of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) – the TransNational Monitoring Network and Joint Danube Surveys 1 and 2.
