Estuaries are areas which, from their structure, their fonctioning, and their localisation, are subject to significant contribution of nutrients. One of the objectif of the RNO, the French network for coastal water quality monitoring, is to assess the levels and trends of nutrient concentrations in estuaries. A linear model was used in order to describe and to explain the total dissolved nitrogen concentration evolution in the three most important estuaries on the Chanel-Atlantic front (Seine, Loire and Gironde). As a first step, the selection of a reliable data set was performed. Then total dissolved nitrogen evolution schemes in estuary environment were graphically studied, and allowed a resonable choice of covariables. The salinity played a major role in explaining nitrogen concentration variability in estuary, and dilution lines were proved to be a useful tool to detect outlying observations and to model the nitrogenlsalinity relation. Increasing trends were detected by the model, with a high magnitude in Seine, intermediate in Loire, and lower in Gironde. The non linear trend estimated in Loire and Seine estuaries could be due to important interannual variations as suggest in graphics. In the objective of the QUADRIGE database valorisation, a discussion on the statistical model, and on the RNO hydrological data sampling strategy, allowed to formulate suggestions towards a better exploitation of nutrient data.

Le présent rapport constitue une première présentation des résultats de l'Etude pilote des apports en contaminants par la Seine. Il est consacré aux métaux et à l'arsenic et traite de leurs niveaux de concentration, de leurs variations saisonnières et des flux à l'estuaire. Il comporte des fiches-annexes qui contiennent les méthodes de prélèvement, de filtration et de dosage ainsi que des résumés des résultats. A partir des conclusions, des recommandations sont faites quant aux méthodes à privilégier pour tirer les meilleurs enseignements du suivi des contaminants métalliques et de l'arsenic à la limite amont de l'estuaire de la Seine. Les données contenues dans ce rapport ont été produites par la Cellule de lutte contre la pollution (Service de navigation de la Seine), le laboratoire Chimie des contaminants et modélisation (IFREMER) et le Laboratoire municipal et régional de Rouen.
