In this study, the recent history of heavy metal pollution in the Fangcheng Bay (South China) was reconstructed utilizing three ²¹⁰Pb-dated sediment cores. The metal concentration profiles display three trends since the 1970s and clearly reflect local urbanization and industrialization. The metals in the Fangcheng Bay started to accumulate in the 1970s but remained relatively low until the 1990s which corresponds to the slow urbanization and industrialization. The metal accumulation in the eastern Fangcheng Bay peaked in the early 2000s following the steep increases in accordance with the rapid industrialization of the eastern Fangcheng Bay where the core HSL was collected. Conversely, the heavy metal profiles in the western Fangcheng Bay present slight step increases in the early 2000s followed by a dramatic metal enrichment in the late 2000s; the expansion of these two cores, which begins in the early 2000s, concurs well with the rapid local urbanization and industrialization.
