Physical, chemical weathering and volcanic eruptions release heavy metals into soils and
surface waters naturally. Contaminants from anthropogenic sources originated from …

Assessment of water quality can be defined as the analysis of physical, chemical and
biological characteristics of water. Water quality indices aim at giving a single value to the …

Particle-size classes (7 fractions from 0.8 to 2000 μm) were collected in the deep chlorophyll
maximum along a Mediterranean transect including the northern coastal zone (bays of …

Mercury (Hg) and 13 other trace elements (Al, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and

We monitored the concentration of 21 trace elements in zooplankton samples collected in a
Northwestern Mediterranean coastal ecosystem (Italy). In the last 20 years, this area has …

Abstract The Moroccan Southern Atlantic coast is mainly influenced by upwelling, Saharan
dust and anthropogenic micropollutant input. These factors contribute to increasing the …

The effects of heavy metal contamination (Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd) in the lower basin of the Salado
River (Argentina) were studied on the zooplanktonic community. The determination of heavy …

Abstract The Red Sea is exposed to metals from a large variety of natural and anthropogenic
sources. In this study, we analyzed 19 common element concentrations in 14 Red Sea …

Organic substances are important components of the marine environment as they determine
the properties of seawater and the key biogeochemical processes taking place in it. Organic …
