To investigate the effects of the water-sediment regulation on the spatial variations of metals in the surface sediments of the Yellow River Estuary (YRE), sampling sites were set in 2015 (51 sites in June and 33 in October). The content of Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, Ni and Mn was determined using inductively coupled plasma spectrometry and of Hg and As atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that the concentrations of metals in the sediments of YRE were lower after the regulation, while that of most metals increased in the tidal areas of the current estuary with fine particles. Environmental pollution and ecological risk of metals were mainly from Hg and Cd. Metals carried with the silt of the river should be focused. The findings were expected to update the current status of metal pollution of YRE and be helpful for the delicacy management of the regime and silt-laden rivers.
