Distribution of cadmium and zinc in the bottom sediments of different wa- ters of Lithuania was investigated using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Two methodologies (liquid and heating mineralization) for the mineraliza- tion of the bottom sediments were employed and compared. The accuracy of the FAAS method was evaluated in comparison with a photometric method. The ob- tained results demonstrate that the suggested procedure could be successfully ap- plied for the analysis of bottom sediments of different water comples with satisfac- tory accuracy.
