  abstract = {{D}issolved and particulate concentrations of metals ({F}e, {A}l, {M}n, {C}o, {N}i, {C}u, {Z}n, {C}d, {T}l, {P}b) and {A}s were monitored over a 5 year period in the {A}mous {R}iver downstream of its confluence with a creek severely affected by acid mine drainage ({AMD}) originating from a former {P}b-{Z}n mine. {W}ater p{H} ranged from 6.5 to 8.8. {M}etals were predominantly in dissolved form, except {F}e and {P}b, which were in particulate form. {I}n the particulate phase, metals were generally associated with {A}l oxides, whereas {A}s was linked to {F}e oxides. {M}etal concentrations in the dissolved and/or particulate phase were generally higher during the wet season due to higher generation of {AMD}. {A}verage dissolved (size < 0.22 mu m) metal concentrations (mu g/{L}) were 1 +/- 4 ({F}e), 69 +/- 49 ({A}l), 140 +/- 118 ({M}n), 4 +/- 3 {C}o, 6 +/- 4 ({N}i), 1.3 +/- 0.8 ({C}u), 126 +/- 81 ({Z}n), 1.1 +/- 0.7 ({C}d), 0.9 +/- 0.5 ({T}l), 2 +/- 3 ({P}b). {D}issolved {A}s concentrations ranged from 5 to 134 mu g/{L} (30 +/- 23 mu g/{L}). {D}uring the survey, the concentration of colloidal metals (5 k{D}a < size < 0.22 mu m) was less than 25% of dissolved concentrations. {D}issolved metal concentrations were generally higher than the maximum concentrations allowed in {E}uropean surface waters for priority substances ({N}i, {C}d and {P}b) and higher than the environmental quality standards for other compounds. {U}sing {D}iffusion {G}radient in {T}hin {F}ilm ({DGT}) probes, metals were shown to be in potentially bioavailable form. {T}he concentrations in {L}euciscus cephalus were below the maximum {P}b and {C}d concentrations allowed in fish muscle for human consumption by the {E}uropean {W}ater {D}irective. {A}mongst the elements studied, only {A}s, {P}b and {T}l were shown to bioaccumulate in liver tissue ({A}s, {P}b) or otoliths ({T}l). {B}ioaccumulation of metals or {A}s was not detected in muscle.},
