The aim of this study was to determinemetal pollution and ecological risk in the limnetic sediment pore water aroundDeriner Dam Lake. The Deriner Dam Lake is located in the Coruh Basin (Artvin)in northeastern Anatolia in Turkey. Cu and Pb concentrations were determined ina total of 7 stations, 4 of which were in the lake and 3 of which in the streamthat was lake feeding. The samples were collected a range of 1.5-60 m depth, asOctober 2016. Metal concentrations were determined using an inductively coupledplasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) analysis in ACME. Mean values of Cu and Pb inlimnetic sediment pore water were higher than reference value pore water chemistry(WQC). According to sediment guidance values (SGV), mean values of Cu and Pbwere determined as class B- moderately contaminated. According to stations, themetal concentrations in sampling area decrease in the order A1, A3, A2, D3, D1,D2, D4. Based upon the results from the present study Cu and Pb can beconsidered as the contributor to toxicity around the Deriner Dam Lake.
