choose of heavy metals pollution biomonitors: a critic of the method that uses sediments total metals concentration as the benchmark

چکیده
the study aimed to come up with a list of specific macroalgae species, which could be used to biomonitor specific metal elements in the coastal waters of east africa. water extraction, edta, aqua regia extraction and optimized bcr 3-step sequential extracts were used to mimic bioavailable metals under various environmental conditions. the results indicated that ulva lactuca could be used as a biomonitor to predict bcr 3-step sequential bioavailable al, cd, co, fe, mn, zn and ni whereas sargassum species could be used as a biomonitor for bcr 3-step sequential bioavailable co, cu, fe, mn and zn. in sargassum spp. only co showed significant correlation with concentration in sediment’s aqua regia extracted metals whereas in ulva lactuca only al, co, cu and fe showed significant correlation with total metals extracted through aqua regia procedure. this study therefore recommends the use of ulva lactuca and sargassum for biomonitoring of al, cd, co, fe, mn, zn, ni and co, cu, fe, mn, zn respectively. the study recommends the use of labile fraction of bcr sequential extraction for screening of macroalgae to be used for heavy metal pollution monitoring in east africa region.

متن کاملAssessing Heavy Metals Pollution of the Mangrove Sediments along Tidal Flat of the Mehran River Delta, Persian Gulf
The relationship between the concentration of heavy metals and physicochemical factors was studied in the fine-grained sediments of the tidal section of the Mehran delta where mangrove trees have grown. Surface sediments of the tidal zone of the Mehran delta were sampled. The grain size distribution, calcium carbonate, organic matter contents, pH/Eh, and heavy metals concentration were determin...
متن کاملAssessment of heavy metals pollution indices in sediments of Tiyab and Kolahi International Wetlands
Heavy metals are pollutants from multiple man-made or natural sources which directly or indirectly enter bodies of water. Therefore, investigation of deposits as metal contaminants is important. The international wetlands of Tiyab and Kolahi are among the most important ecosystems in the south of Iran that due to development programs are polluted by different sources. In order to identify envir...

متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metals Pollution in Water and Sediments of Djendjen River, North Eastern Algeria
Water and sediment samples have been collected from five different stations, located along Djendjen River between February and June, 2016 so that the concentrations of Cd, Ni, Zn, and Cu could be determined. The extent of the sediment pollution has been assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Ig...
