Abstract
Sediments are important carriers for trace metals in the hydrological cycle, an aspect which will be discussed in chapters dealing with individual parts of the hydro-logical cycle. However, sediment research has certain aspects of its own, which warrants a separate discussion. Therefore, we will discuss those aspects of metals and sediments which are common to all parts of the hydrological cycle.
