270:(Cu) is distinguished from all other heavy metals studied by not exceeding the target (100 ppm) in any of the researched deposits, but in Käina Bay, the concentration of Cu was the lowest – 9 ppm on average. In the case of the other studied heavy metals (Sr, Ni, Cr), in general, the lowest concentrations of heavy metals are in Käina Bay. It was determined that sediments are most mineral in Käina Bay (an average of 6.5% of organic matter of dry matter).

The lithological composition of the mud was studied with thermogravimetric analysis (concentration of organics, mineral matter, and carbonates), and the ED-XRF method was used to determine the concentration of metals (Cu, Cr, Sr, Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni).

Several studies on geology and natural conditions have been implemented in Käina deposit. Radioactive studies were carried out in the first half of the 20th century. In 1922, M. Kand and F. Dreyer studied the radioactivity of the curative mud, which at that time was considered to be the main factor

Hiiumaa Island. Käina Bay mud was found to be the largest curative mud reserve in Hiiumaa, at the Bay's southern site mud deposit averaged several square kilometers forming a 0,5 - 1,0 meters thick deposit. In the 1960s, E.Türi determined the thickness of mud and analyzed it
135:. In accordance to the Earth's Crust Act sea mud is a mineral resource in Estonia. Käina seamud deposit is one of 3 national seamud deposits in Estonia. The active reserve of the Käina seamud deposit in December, 2018 was 273,8 thousand tons and passive reserve 1 546,0 thousand tons.
