In this study, five sediments samples were collected at near Hansan island. These samples were characterized whether they were contaminated or not. For this purpose, physico-chemical properties and metal contents were analyzed. From the elemental analyses, XRD, and XRF analyses, all samples showed similar elements, oxides, and minerals. In general, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations were below the contamination standards. Concentrations of Cu, however, exceeded the contamination standards of USEPA and Ontario sediment quality guidelines for some sampling sites. Ignition losses of the all samples were greater than 8%, which is a value indicating whether the sample is heavily polluted or moderately polluted. All the samples were classified as heavily polluted due to the high value of ignition loss. Therefore, sediments of the near Hansan island are required for periodic and strict management to prevent any harmful effects to the surrounding environments.
