We have Previously reported the levels of some organochlorine compounds (PCBs, DDT, DDE, chlordanes and dieldrin) in sediments and three species of shellfish from the Waikareao Estuary, a small inlet of Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand. The detection of elevated levels of organochlorine compounds in some sediments and shellfish species prompted us to also determine the levels of some environmentally significant heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd) and three groups of organic hydrocarbons (PAHs, n-alkanes and hopane triterpenes) in sediments from eleven sites in the Waikareao Estuary. 16 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.
