The fine-scale profile (concentration/flux) of 14 metals at sediment/water interface (SWI) of Yingkou bay was measured by passive sampler-DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films) probe and HR-ICP-MS instrument. Fe profile in sediment porewater indicated redox reactions, which was verified by peaks at ?.75, ?.75, ?.75 and ?1.75?cm. Mn profile in sediment porewater indicated redox-sensitive character with the continuous increase in profile from ?.75 to ?.75?cm, and the subsequent peaks at ?.25, ?.25, ?.75 and ?1.25?cm. Both Fe and Mn profiles indicated low values at ?0.25?cm, which was due to the formation of pyrite and the adsorption of Mn on it. The co-occurrence of some peaks and broad feature near peaks of trace metals and Fe/Mn at same depths of profiles indicated coupled geochemical process and co-remobilization. The diffusive fluxes of metals across SWI were also calculated and investigated.
