Preliminary study of trace metals distribution in the water column of Urinjska Špilja anchialine cave (Croatian Adriatic coast)

Temporal and vertical distributions of dissolved and total ecotoxic trace metals Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the water column of Urinjska Špilja anchialine cave were studied by voltammetry. Also, the physico-chemical parameters salinity (S), temperature (T) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration were measured. Although the cave is situated in the vicinity of the biggest Croatian oil refinery, anthropogenic influence was not observed.
