Abstract Suitability of continuous‐flow centrifugation for bulk recovery of suspended sediment for biogeochemical purposes is reviewed. Centrifuge recovery characteristics and efficiencies in a variety of rivers and for different regimes are presented. The observed distribution of organochlorine residues amongst water, aquatic plants and suspended sediments demonstrate the necessity for standardized bulk collection protocol for suspended sediment.
