Field and laboratory investigations were carried out to study the transport and dispersion law of polluted sediments near wastewater outlet using neutron activation tracer technique. The direction of transport and dispersion of polluted sediments, dispersion amount in different directions, sedimentary region of polluted sediment and evaluation of polluted risk are given. This provided a new test method for the study of environmental science and added a new forecasted content for the evaluation of environmental influence.
