The ecological quality status of the NE region of the Guanabara Bay (SE Brazil), one of the
most important Brazilian embayments, is evaluated. For this purpose, sediment samples …

Abstract The Sepetiba Bay (SB; SE Brazil) has been severely affected by growing of
urbanization and industrial activity. This work aims to analyze the evolution of contamination …

An old electroplating plant in Sepetiba Bay discharged metal-enriched wastes into the
surrounding mangroves for 30 years (from the 1960s to 1990s), resulting in a hotspot zone …

and P-wave velocity), mineralogical (XRD), and geochemical (elemental, stable isotopes) …

Isotope ratios of lead (Pb) are increasingly applied to trace pollution sources in marine
settings, using mostly carbonate remains of living organisms. However, this data has never …

Trace metal background levels determination is essential for the proper assessment of the
