The purpose of the present work was to combine several tools for assessing metal pollution
in marine sediments from Cienfuegos Bay. Fourteen surface sediments collected in 2013 …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and distribution of heavy metals
in the sediments of Paulo Gorski Lake, as well as the metals' bioavailability and potential …

The sediment contamination by trace metals in coastal aquatic ecosystems is a worldwide
environmental problem, since metals can be toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulated. In case …

This study investigated the total concentrations and geochemical compositions of metals
(Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe and Mn) in surface sediments of Zhanjiang Bay (ZJB) in spring …

We present an alternative approach for establishing in situ bioaccumulation assessment of
methyl-Hg (MeHg), total-Hg, Cd, Pb and Zn in bivalve Anomalocardia brasiliana from four …

Surface sediments collected in the intertidal zone of Paraguaçu estuary in July, 2013, were
analyzed for organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, grain size fractions and partial …

The present study evaluated the ecological risk of metal contamination in sediments of
Guanabara Bay (GB) by combining multiple lines of evidence (LOEs). Chemical analysis …

To protect their steel structures from corrosion by cathodic protection, many harbours use
aluminium sacrificial anodes, which induces aluminium release and potential contamination …

The toxicity of dredged sediments from Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was
evaluated using acute bioassays with Eisenia andrei and metal determination. The …

This study evaluated the potential mobility of metallic contaminants (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and
Zn) present in sediments at the mouth of São Francisco Channel (Sepetiba Bay, RJ), using …
