20 surface sediments recovered from the Ergene River have been analyzed in order to assess the extent of anthropogenic inputs into the river. The results of enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), and pollution load index (PLI) reveal that the sediments of the Ergene River were not polluted with Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni, but were moderately polluted with As, Cr, Pb, V, and Zn. The highest CF and PLI of As, Cr, and V were observed near the industrial district of Çorlu. These CF and PLI values indicated anthropogenic influence caused by the input of untreated industrial wastewater and domestic sewage.

Enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index analyses revealed significant anthropogenic pollution by Al, As, Cu, La, Mo, Pb, Se, and Zn in the surface sediments of cores from Ambarlı Port Area, whereas Ba, Fe, Ni, Sr in all sediments could be considered to be derived from pollution-free sources. Pb²¹⁰ dating shows deposition in the upper 2 cm between 1979 and 2009, indicating anthropogenic contamination of Al, As, Cu, La, Mo, Pb, Se, and Zn in sediments. As, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn in the upper parts may occasionally have reached toxic biological levels. The toxicity order for benthic organisms was Ni>Cr>As>Zn>Cu>Pb.
