The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

This review of 19 chemical approaches used in assessing sediment quality are classified
into empirical, mechanistic and sediment quality indices (SQI) groups. Empirical sediment …

We chronicle the extensive influence over the past forty years of Professor Edward D.
Goldberg and his call in 1975 for a “Mussel Watch” or bivalve sentinel organism approach to …

A combined hydrodynamic/radiobiological model was used to calculate the distribution and
dose rate of significant radionuclides in the Mediterranean Sea marine organisms in the …

Each book has two main goals1. Determine baseline concentrations of metals and
metalloids in tissues of representative field populations of estuarine coastal, and open …

This survey was conducted to determine metal concentrations in the biomonitor organism
Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from all coasts of Turkey. Naturally-occurring mussels …

Microplastics are a major global concern in the marine environment. The use of marine biota
to monitor MP pollution has been previously highlighted as a method of providing data. This …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the bioavailability of trace metals (Chromium, Copper,
Nickel, Lead, Zinc, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Mercury) in the commercially consumed …

Concentrations of five heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn) were determined in tissues of
wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected at 41 stations located on the Spanish …

The abundance of 137 Cs radionuclide in the Mediterranean Sea has limited study despite
its environmental effects in seafood chains. For this purpose, the activity concentration of …
