The catchment of the river Supraśl was studied. The investigations were carried out in March, May, August, and October 2006. The aim of the study was to evaluate and predict the total content of cadmium, lead, zinc, chromium, nickel, copper, and cobalt, as well as their soluble forms in the bottom sediments of the river Supraśl and its tributaries. Concentrations of heavy metals were determined by means of AAS technique. Bottom sediments from the river Supraśl and its tributaries proved to be slightly contaminated with cadmium. Content of other metals investigated was usually at the geochemical background level. The highest concentration of the heavy metals were found in the bottom sediments of the river Supraśl at the sampling point Fasty and the river Biała that is a receiver of municipal and industrial sewage from Białystok, which was confirmed by statistical analyses. Differences in metal contents in the river Supraśl tributaries resulted mainly from the character of the surrounding catchment.
