Trace Metals in Algae from the South-western Coast of Sardinia (italy)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cadmium, Hg, Pb, and Zn concentrations were determined in 28 species of red, brown, and green algae sampled in the south-western coast of Sardinia (Italy). Elevated concentrations of heavy metals were mainly associated with the presence of smelting activities in the area.

This study was carried out to find any relative concentrations of the trace metals (Cu, Cd, Zn and Pb) in the liver and the kidney of Acipenser persicus and in the surficial sediments of the west coast of The Southern Caspian Sea. Twenty five samples of the Acipenser persicus (Persian sturgeon) and ten samples of the sediments were taken from five fishing stations in autumn 2001. The tissues we...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION TRENDS DURING 2nd HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY IN AN AREA OF SARDINIA (ITALY) AT HIGH HYDROGEOLOGICAL RISK
We present an analysis of precipitation in an area of Sardinia (Italy) at high hydrogeological risk. Sardinia is an island located in the Western Mediterranean Sea. Precipitation is here a highly irregular phenomenon due to the variability of extra-tropical cyclones. The latitudinal development of the island (~200 Km) gives a climatic North-South gradient. However, the presence of high and stee...

متن کاملThe 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...
