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 …

This paper reviews the speciation and determination of mercury by various analytical
techniques such as atomic absorption spectrometry, voltammetry, inductively coupled …

The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) has been a species of global concern for decades. In

Metals are persistent worldwide being harmful for diverse organisms and having complex
and combined effects with other contaminants in the environment. Sea turtles accumulate …

The use of sentinel species in monitoring programs for toxic metals such as mercury (Hg) is
essential to understand these pollutants' impact on the environment. For this purpose, it is …

In November 2015, a tailings dam ruptured and affected the second largest nesting site of
loggerhead sea turtles in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the reproductive success, and …
