Abstract：
:This study considers the effectiveness of the monitoring of toxic trace elements in various media from a polluted river estuary over a period of 15 years, using the same analytical techniques, facilities and, in some cases, the same operators. It shows that reliable comparisons can be made for monitoring waters, sediment and biota from the Derwent River Estuary between 1975 data and that from 1990. Rigorous studies were undertaken before and during 1975 to ensure that reliable data was achieved at that time. Such studies are reviewed and included the evaluation of digestion techniques for a range of heavy metals, specific attention to the reliability of mercury determination in sediments between laboratories, a comparison of direct calibration and standard addition techniques for metals in seawater, recoveries of an organomercury compound from fish, and sources of error arising from sample preparation of biota for subsequent metal analysis. Comparative results for standard reference materials in both 1975 and 1990 show good agreement and are considered reliable except for lead at low concentrations. The long-term retention of the analytical facilities permits a direct comparison of data from 2 monitoring programmes over the space of 15 years.
