 abstract={Turkusowe Lake is a pit lake formed after the extraction of CaCO3 , located within the Wolin National Park (northwestern Poland). The aim of the study was to assess the potential contamination of water and bottom sediments with trace elements (TE) in relation to previous research, which indicated the impact of anthropogenic pressure. To achieve this, basic physico-chemical parameters of the water (pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, oxygen content) were measured, and the concentrations of TEs (Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl, V, Zn) in water and bottom sediments. The potential contamination of water by trace elements was evaluated using the trace metal evaluation index (TMEI), while sediment contamination was assessed usingthe geoaccumulation index (Igeo) and contamination factor (CF). The results of the TMEI and Igeo did not indicate contamination, whereas the CF pointed to low, initial contamination of the bottom sediments by Ni and V. It has been demonstrated that the lower layer of the lake becomes contaminated by TEs more quickly, in contrast to the upper layer, which undergoes faster eutrophication. Turkusowe Lake continues to demonstrate significant resistance to TEs contamination due to its alkaline pH, but regular monitoring is recommended.},
