Grain size, organic characteristics and heavy metals in surface sediment from Densu Estuary, Ghana

Urbanization and agriculture along the coastal regions of Ghana contribute to increasing environmental pollution. Ecological assessment of heavy metals in surface sediment of Densu Delta was used to determine the state of ecological environmental quality for its sustainable management. Also, organic pollution is a major environmental problem. The data provides spatial distribution on grain size, organic properties and metals of surface sediment in a tropical estuary, West Africa, Ghana.
