Pollution control and environment protection have received muchpublic attention. As heavy metals are an important toxic pollutant source in this area and are notbiodegradable in general, a lot of scientists in China, especially in Southern China, devote theirfocus on studying the pollution caused by heavy metals in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE). This paperpresents a comprehensive review on the heavy metal pollution research and its related research inthis area. It is suggested that the study of heavy metal pollution in PRE should be coupled withwater movement, sediment motion and tidal characteristics in this region. Studying core sediments invarious locations is recommended to reveal the history of heavy metal pollution in PRE and improvethe understanding of the fate and transport of metals.展开更多
