The aim of this report is to review the state of knowledge on the land/sea flux of three categories of contaminants (i.e. nutrients, trace metals and synthetic organic compounds) resulting from river transport. The report provides a critical review of the scientific literature on riverine and estuarine processes that influence the fate of these contaminants as they are transported from land based sources to the sea.
