Marine debris and trace metals are among the common environmental contaminants known
to affect marine organisms. In this study, the quantitative and qualitative aspects of marine …

The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) has been a species of global concern for decades. In
this study, heavy metals (mercury: Hg; Cadmium: Cd; Lead: Pb; Copper: Cu; and Zinc: Zn) …

The deleterious effects of marine debris ingestion on marine turtles are well documented in
literature globally. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative aspects of marine debris …

Inorganic elements from anthropogenic sources have entered marine environments
worldwide and are detectable in marine organisms, including sea turtles. Threatened and …

A large number of nesting loggerhead sea turtles (n= 201) were sampled to establish the
blood levels of 11 elements (Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, As, Al, Hg, and Se). Almost all of the …

An investigation of the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in green turtles at Ras Al Hadd turtle
reserve (Oman) was undertaken. A total of 12 heavy metals in liver of hatchlings and egg …

Heavy metal concentrations in the different tissues of marine turtles are presented; the most
frequently monitored elements are mercury, cadmium and lead. Concentrations of Hg, Cd …

The concentration of nine metals was measured in liver, kidney, heart, muscle, plastron, and
carapace of Aspideretes gangeticu s from Rasul and Baloki barrages, Pakistan. The results …

Turtles, as a long-lived reptile, have been used as important tools to study heavy metal
contamination because the accumulation of pollutants in the turtles is indicative of human …

Abstract Inorganic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, Al, As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Se and Zn) are present
globally in aquatic systems and their potential transfer to marine turtles can be a serious …
