Abstract
After an industrial contamination of cadmium in the Lot river (France) , an estimate of the cadmium stock stored in the bottom sediments of t he river has been established in 1991. The behaviour and the evolution of this metallic concentration has been followed during the 1987-1994 period. It has been shown that there is a decrease of cadmium, in sus pended matter and sediment, in relation to the decrease of fluxes flow ing out the factory.
