Concentrations of trace elements (Hg, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Se) in different organs and
tissues (liver, kidney, muscle tissue, spleen, heart, lung, and fat tissue) of loggerhead turtles …

Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were determined in
the liver, kidney and muscle of 29 loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, from the South …

Concentrations of heavy metals (Hg, Cd and Pb) were determined in internal organs and
nest contents of green turtles Chelonia mydas and loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta from …

Cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc were measured in tissues of 21 loggerhead turtles (Caretta
caretta) from the southwestern Mediterranean coastline. Mean concentrations (dry weight) of …

Sea turtles are of increasing interest as potential bioindicators of the heavy metal pollution in
marine ecosystems. In the present work, concentrations of heavy metals and essential …

This study investigated the subcellular distribution of Cd, Cu and Zn in liver and kidney of
green turtles (Chelonia mydas) stranded along the Italian coast of the South Adriatic Sea …

Thirty-five specimens of Caretta caretta were collected dead along the Adriatic Sea coast
from the Po Delta to the Reno mouth (Italy). Turtles were classified into four size categories …

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 …

Heavy metal concentrations in the tissues of marine turtles are presented. The most
frequently monitored elements are mercury, cadmium and lead; and the tissues mainly …

In this paper we determined the levels of 63 environmental contaminants, including organic
(PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, and PAHs) and inorganic (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg and Zn) …
