I need to use pollution load calculations to create a model for pollution remediation in coastal lagoon sediments. what data do i need and what kind of model do i use? appreciate your help

Dear Ahmed
Calculation of pollution load may be carried out on dissolved as well solid ones. You ought to know the sediment load as well as water discharge via rivers into the lagoon. It is necessary to measure both dissolved and solid pollutants in water and sediment of rivers running into the lagoon. Subsequently, chemical partitioning technique should be used to differentiate between lithogenic and non-lithogenic sources of metals in the sediment. Having all these data in hand you might use various pollution intensity indices to bring out the present status of lagoon. I attach one of my papers that might be of some use to your works.
All the best
