This paper presents results of speciation analysis of bottom sediments. In our examinations a five-step extraction procedure was applied. Direct analysis of sediments and analysis of extracts was carried out by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry with wavelength dispersion. Examinations were carried out with the use of lake sediments CRM.
