Ligia italica (Isopoda, Oniscidea) as Bioindicator of Mercury Pollution of Marine Rocky Coasts
In this study, we evaluated the possible role of Ligia italica as a bioindicator for the monitoring of heavy metals pollution in the suppralittoral zone of marine rocky coasts. Between 2004 and 2011 specimens of L. italica were collected along the Eastern Sicilian coasts from sites known for their high pollution levels as they are near to an area where in September 2001 a refinery plant dischar...
متن کاملClosed Chloralkaline Plant as Hg-pollution Source in Kastela Bay, Adriatic Sea (croatia)
Concentrations of gaseous mercury (2.1 9.6 μg m−3) were measured within the former chlor-alkali plant in Kaštela Bay. This is a hazardous source of pollution and could present a serious problem for the town of Split and Jadro River. The aim of the work was to find the direction in which Hg-pollution was distributed. Soil samples were collected and total Hg concentrations were measured in soils ...
متن کاملAfrican land snail Achatina marginatus, as bioindicator of environmental pollution
Activity of xanthine oxidase, levels of lipid peroxidation and ascorbic acid were studied in African land snail (Achatina marginatus) from two sites with different pollution potentials. Lipid peroxidation was significantly higher in the snails from the polluted site compared to the value obtained from the same species from the control site. Similarly, the activity of xanthine oxidase in the sna...
متن کاملTaxus baccata as a Bioindicator of Urban Environmental Pollution
Concentrations of the elements Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, N, Ni, P, Pb, and Zn were measured in needles and bark of Taxus baccata from the urban environment of Wrocław, Poland, and from a control site relatively free from pollution. In Wrocław the concentrations of N, P, K, and Mg in needles were significantly higher than in bark, but concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu Fe, Ni, and Zn were...
متن کاملSocioeconomic consequences of mercury use and pollution.
In the past, human activities often resulted in mercury releases to the biosphere with little consideration of undesirable consequences for the health of humans and wildlife. This paper outlines the pathways through which humans and wildlife are exposed to mercury. Fish consumption is the major route of exposure to methylmercury. Humans can also receive toxic doses of mercury through inhalation...
