The contamination status of trace metals in Sinop coast of the Black Sea, Turkey
The concentrations of some heavy metals in sediment from the Sinop coasts of the Black Sea were measured to monitor metal pollution in 2013. The distribution of the heavy metals in sediments of the Black Sea shows a variable pattern. The objectives of the present study were to elucidate the distribution heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, As, Cd, Cr, Hg and Co in sediment from Sinop co...

متن کاملTrace metal pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
In the Mediterranean Sea, the distribution of dissolved zinc, copper, lead and cadmium is primarily controlled by marine circulation, surface source dynamics and biological new production. We show that the present relatively high content of these metals in the surface layer is due to non-steady-state cycles as a result of source increases probably following increases in industrial, agricultural...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of trace metal bioavailability in the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus along the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea
The fouling barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus is a cosmopolitan biomonitor of trace metal bioavailability in coastal waters of reduced salinity such as estuaries or the Baltic Sea. Bioavailability of Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn to A. improvisus was investigated in July 2014 at 15 sites along the Iranian coast of the understudied, yet biologically unique, Caspian Sea. In gene...

In this study, concentration of 17 elements, including As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ca,Fe, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, as well as methylmercury in 31 surface sediments were assessed. The sampling stations were Gulf of Golestan, Miankale Island, Babolsar, Nowshahr and Anzali, which represented the most important harbors in the Golestan, Mazandaran and Gilan provinces in the southern parts of th...
