“…Suresh et al, (2007) recorded lower concentrations of cobalt as compared to our study with a range of 0.05-0.28 µg/g in Parangipettai coast of India. Topcuoglu et al, (2002) reported lower concentrations of cobalt when compared with the present study with a range <0.05-0.40 µg/g in the black Sea coast. Rompala et al, (1984) documented that the biological effects of sublethel concentrations of lead may include delayed embryonic development, suppressed reproduction and inhalation of growth, increased mucous formation, neurological problems, enzyme inhalation and kidney failure.…”

The concentrations of manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in the muscles of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) that were collected from Gaza fishing harbor and the surrounding areas were investigated in this study. Eight sampling locations were selected to conduct the study along the coast of Gaza. The samples were taken in September, November 2013 and March 2014. Heavy metals were identified and analyzed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in soft tissues of fish were as follows: Mn:0.90 µg/g; Cu:13.15 µg/g; Zn:25.87 µg/g; Ni:1.10 µg/g; Co:0.68 µg/g; Pb:1.82 µg/g and Cd:0.27 µg/g, respectively. The highest concentrations of metals in fish tissues were found to be detected for zinc (13.56-40.43 µg/g) and the lowest were for cobalt (nd-2.93 µg/g) and cadmium (0.02-0.51 µg/g). The heavy metal concentrations in most fish samples were found to be below the acceptable limits proposed for fish by various international standards such as European Union (EU), World Health Organization (WHO), and Turkish guidelines (TFC). Therefore, it can be concluded that no risk on human health would be elevated at present from the consumption of fish collected from Gaza fishing harbor.

“…In the present study, concentration of nickel was varied from 0.01to 0.97 µg g -1 and these values were higher than the previous reports (Topcuoglu et al, 2011;Mendil et al, 2010). Nickel is a hazardous element notified by the USFDA (1993), though not covered by EC regulations for fish and other aquatic products.…”

“…The hydrogen peroxide was added until the sample became clear. After that, the sample was diluted to 100 mL with 2 % HNO 3 in a volumetric flask (Topçuoglu et al 2002). Trace metal levels (Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb) were determined by a PerkinElmer inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).…”

To determine radioactivity and trace metal levels, surface sediments were collected from two important areas (İzmir Bay and Didim) in the Aegean Sea region of Turkey, and were analyzed for concentrations of 210 Po, 210 Pb and trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn). The average 210 Po and 210 Pb massic activities in sediments varied in the range of 24 ± 5 to 126 ± 6 Bq kg -1 dry wt. and 18 ± 3 to 59 ± 4 Bq kg -1 dry wt., respectively. Izmir Bay exhibited the highest polonium activities in sediments, likely due to specific sedimentation processes and other sediment characteristics. The trace metal results showed that the Izmir Bay is facing trace metal pollution. The metal concentrations in sediment samples are low compared to those from the other neighboring marine environments.
