This chapter reviews the concentrations of several major metal contaminants in bivalve
mollusks collected from different regions of the world. Bivalve mollusks considered in this …

This study focuses on the extent of Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd and Pb bioaccumulation in water, fish feed
and the muscles of 40 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from four farmsalong Haraz …

Sediment samples were collected to clarify the effect of changing sedimentary environment
under long-term reclamation on heavy metals (Cr, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, and Ni) in a partially …

The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution, potential risks and sources of
seven heavy metals in sediments of the Yangtze River Estuary. Analyses of 55 sediment …

The increasing contamination of fresh water resources by trace metals and persistent

Anthropogenic activities, including combustion of fossil fuels, coal, and gold mining, are
significant sources of mercury (Hg) emissions into aquatic ecosystems. South Africa is a …

The health risk caused by metal pollution is a global concern due to potential metal
bioaccumulation, toxicity, and carcinogenicity with multiple sources and pathways. Here, the …

Understanding the metal pollution can help governments and estuary management groups
manage metal inputs. Here, we comprehensively analyzed the behaviors of seven metals …

Although the irritant effects of quaternium-15 have been established, little is known about the
toxicological consequences induced by this xenobiotic on aquatic invertebrates. The present …

Enrichment of heavy metals was assessed in the Thi Vai Estuary and in the Can Gio
