One of the world's largest smelters has been operating in South Australia since 1889,
affecting environment and human health. Here we quantified the magnitude of Pb, Zn and …

Abstract The upper Spencer Gulf in South Australia hosts the world's largest single stream
Pb-Zn smelter, which has caused environmental and health issues related to elevated metal …

Research into sediment-seagrass tissue metal relationships has been undertaken in Sydney
estuary due to the recognized role contamination plays in threats to seagrass health …

Trace metal run-off associated with urban and industrial development poses potential
threats to seagrasses in adjacent coastal ecosystems. Seagrass from the largest urban …

Remnant endangered saltmarsh communities in Australia often occur in urbanised estuaries
where industrial processes have contaminated sediments with metal (loid) s. Despite this …

Surficial sediments, shallow sediment cores and seagrass samples were collected over an
area of about 600 km 2 of upper Spencer Gulf, South Australia, adjacent to a major lead-zinc …

Seagrasses are highly productive and dynamic ecosystems, which supply a range of
ecosystem services. Despite this, seagrass communities are globally in decline, largely due …

Seagrass (Zostera capricorni) tissue metal concentrations in Sydney estuary are some of the
highest reported for urban environments. A strong declining metal (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb …

abstract Seaweeds (macroalgae) accumulate heavy metals from seawater and can therefore
serve as biological monitors of marine pollution. In this paper, we present data on the tissue …

Seagrasses often occur around shallow marine CO 2 seeps, allowing assessment of trace
metal accumulation. Here, we measured Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn levels at six CO 2 seeps …
