dc.description.abstract	A systematic study of the surface properties of suspended and bed sediments from the Tamar Estuary and Restronguet Creek was carried out using a nitrogen adsorption technique. The surface areas and porosities of the particles were determined using BET theory and capillary models applied to the gas adsorption isotherms. The surface areas of the suspended particles collected on axial transects of the Tamar Estuary ranged between 8 and 22 m²/g. The highest values were found for particles in the turbidity maximum region. These appeared to be related in a complex way to both particle size and the chemical composition of the particles.
