Abstract Concentration levels of heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in groundwaters, primarily from igneous crystalline bedrock, are summarized. The groundwaters were sampled from 126 stations in Sweden during 1985–87 (1–6 times per year). The observed groundwater concentrations are generally at least qualitatively related to concentration levels in the bedrock as well as to pH of the water. Background concentration ranges for unpolluted groundwaters from the present bedrock environment are suggested.
