Marine sediments naturally contain arsenic at low concentrations. Increased concentrations could come from natural sources such as volcanic activity, hydrothermal vents and others, but they are usually the result of human activities. The largest number of arsenic compounds possesses toxic properties and due to this arsenic is classified as hazardous substances to the environment and biological species. Therefore, arsenic and its compounds are subject to chemical and biological analysis of sediments. Based on the analysis of sediment samples for arsenic content, this paper presents arsenic spatial distribution in the investigated area of the South-East Adriatic.
