Analysis of limnic sediments can serve as a tool to assess sedimentary pollution for both the status quo as well as changes over time. However, in environmental studies, often only a small number of established well-studied contaminants are considered. This study focused on a more comprehensive investigation of sedimentary pollution of Djerdap Reservoir. Therefore, complementary analytical approaches were applied covering lipophilic organic contaminants and heavy metals. Investigations were performed on limnic sediment layers representing a period of 43 years of reservoir functioning. The core was sectioned on 11 samples and analyzed for, loss on ignition (LOI), and organic compounds (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Here, we report the quantitative data of 43 lipophilic organic compounds indicating both domestic and industrial emissions. Measured concentrations are generally low. Surprisingly, no polychlorinated biphenyls have been detected. Data concerning grain size, sedimentological, and inorganic composition were measured and published by in Kasanin-Grubin et al. (Kasanin-Grubin et al. 2019).
