  abstract = {{U}rban rivers are significantly impacted by anthropogenic pressure. {T}his study presents the updated assessment of the concentrations of 11 metals and other variables (p{H}, total organic carbon ({TOC}) and nutrients (total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total silica)) in the sediments of four urban rivers in inner {H}anoi city, {V}ietnam, during the period 2020-2022. {T}he mean concentrations of {F}e, {Z}n, {A}s, and {C}r were higher than the permissible values of the {V}ietnam {N}ational technical regulation on the surface sediment quality. {M}oreover, {Z}n and {C}r were at the severe effect level of the {US} {EPA} guidelines for sediment quality. {T}he calculation of pollution indices ({I}geo and {EF}) demonstrated that {M}n, {N}i, and {F}e were from natural sources whereas other metals were from both anthropogenic and natural sources. {T}he ecological risk index revealed that metals in {H}anoi riverine sediments were classified at considerable ecological risk. {H}igh values of metals, {TOC}, and nutrients in the sediments of these urban rivers mostly originate from the accumulation of untreated urban wastewater that is enhanced by low river discharge. {O}ur results may provide scientific base for better management decisions to ensure environmental protection and sustainable development of {H}anoi city.},
