Thermogravimetry (TG) was used to investigate the pollution on marine sediments close to urban and industrial sites. Sediment weight loss when heated (TG) was performed under oxidizing conditions from 250°C to 900°C. The first derivative of TG curves was used to generate a Cartesian diagram for sediments cataloging, in a quick way, according to their organic matter and grain size contents. Thus, sediment placed at the right of the diagram were characterized by a prevalence of the thin fraction and high organic matter content, while on the left side, samples were characterized by large sandy fractions, and, in general, low organic matter contents. Two references materials and metal pollution index were used to validate the Cartesian diagram obtained.
