Evidence of increased anthropogenic emissions of platinum: Time-series analysis of mussels (1991–2011) of an urban beach

Abstract: The anthropogenic emissions of Pt to the environment have increased significantly over the past decades, especially after the introduction of the catalytic converters in motor vehicles. In order to check whether this is affecting the levels of this trace metal on living organisms, time-series analysis of freeze-dried soft tissue material of wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) covering the period from 1991 to 2001 and collected at an urban beach in the city of Vigo (NW Iberian Peninsula) was conducted.

“…pmol.g -1 , dw, minimum BCF is of about 3 x 10 3 . Similar values (~ 5 x 10 3 ) were observed in wild mussels from the Samil urban beach (Spain; Neira et al, 2015). In comparison, for Cd and Ag respective minimum BCF were estimated at 2 x 10 5 and 6 x 10 6 in the same system (Lanceleur et al, 2011) suggesting that bioconcentration of Pt in wild oysters is lower than for those two trace metals.…”

“…Pt transformation processes (Cobelo-García et al, 2014a) and (iv) the age of wild oysters at the sampling time (2 year old). As well as wild oysters, time-series analysis of mussels from an urban beach revealed excess (or anthropogenic) Pt related to its use in car catalytic converters and car sales in Spain and Portugal (Neira et al, 2015). Temporal trends of Pt accumulation in both wild oysters and mussels from urbanized aquatic system indicate the change in Pt use over time.…”

“…Obata et al 2006). Several studies have addressed bioaccumulation of Pt in wild marine bivalves, such as oysters and mussels (Abdou et al 2016;Neira et al 2015). However, there is a lack of data on the comprehensive characterisation of the factors that control the behaviour of Pt in coastal seawater, which includes its partitioning between suspended particles and seawater.…”
