  abstract = {{T}he {M}ekong {D}elta, is home to 17 million inhabitants and faces numerous challenges relating to climate change, environmental degradation and water issues. {I}n this study, we assess trace metals concentrations ({A}l, {V}, {C}r, {M}n, {F}e, {C}o, {N}i, {C}u, {Z}n, {A}s, {M}o, {C}d, {H}g, {P}b) in the water, suspended particulate matter and surface sediments of the {T}ien {R}iver, the {N}orthern branch of the {M}ekong {D}elta, during both dry and rainy seasons. {M}etal concentrations in the dissolved and suspended particle phases remain in the low concentration range of the main {A}sian {T}ropical {R}iver. {D}uring transportation in the riverine part, we evidenced that {V}, {C}r, {C}o, {A}s and {P}b are dominant in the particulate phase while {M}o, {N}i and {C}u dominate in the dissolved fraction. {I}n the salinity gradient, dissolved {U}, {V}, {M}o exhibit conservative behaviour while {N}i, {C}u, {A}s, {C}o and {C}d showed additive behaviour suggesting desorption processes. {I}n the surface sediment, metal concentrations are controlled by the particle-size, {POC} contents and {F}e, {A}l and {M}n - oxy(hydr)oxides. {C}alculated {E}nrichment {F}actor and {G}eoaccumulation {I}ndex evidenced {A}s enrichment while the calculated mean effect range median quotients evidenced a low to medium ecotoxicological potential effects range in the surface sediments.},
