title: Metals in estuarine sediments: factor analysis and its environmental significance.
abstract: Q-mode factor analysis has been used to partition the variability of environmentally active metals in Delaware Bay sediments. Three factors, identified as a natural background source, an oceanic or seawater source, and an estuarine source, account for 96 percent of the metal variability.
