“…Duarte et al, 2011). Previous studies identified the organic matter and fine particles content as two of the major factors that influence metals uptake, being responsible for their reduced mobility and toxicity (Eggleton and Thomas, 2004;Hyun et al, 2006Yu et al, 2012.…”

The aim of this study was to monitor the heavy metal contents and fecal pollution in Tapes decussatus (carpet shell clam) from Izmir Bay (Eastern Aegean). Bivalve mollusks were sampled on January, March, July, and October 2007 in the Izmir Bay. Izmir Bay is one of the great natural bays of the Mediterranean. Concentrations of heavy metals were determined in the clams from the different seasons. Fecal coliform densities were determined to evaluate the degree of water pollution and clams' microbiological accumulation of the classical microbial pollution indicators. The concentration of heavy metals in T. decussatus from Izmir Bay were Hg 0.044-0.13; Cd 0.026-0.24; Pb 0.38-1.2; Cr 2.3-3.7; Cu 6.4-8.4; Zn 56.0-81.8, and Ni 8.1-9.6 microg/g (dry weight). The maximum values were generally obtained in July and March except Ni. This study found that the levels of heavy metals except Cr in T. decussatus were below Spanish and European Communities legislations for shellfish as food. Microbial pollution indicators (heterotrophic bacteria and fecal coliform) were measured in T. decussatus. Maximum heterotrophic bacteria and fecal coliforms were recorded in the winter while the lowest were detected in summer.

“…Heavy metals are deemed serious pollutants because of toxicity, persistence, and nondegradability in the environment. The importance of heavy metals in coastal environments derives from both their potential toxic effects and excessive anthropogenic sources which can equal or exceed natural input (Hyun et al, 2006). Since the early works of Goldberg (1975) and Phillips (1976), marine mussel are widely used as bioindicators of heavy metals pollution in coastal areas because they are known to concentrate these elements, providing a time integrated indication of environmental contamination.…”

Heavy metal concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc, cooper, nickel, manganese, and chromium in Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated to provide information on pollution of Safi coastal area, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. The concentration of Hg and Pb was determined by AFS and ICP-MS methods, respectively, whilst the remaining metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Zn, and Ni) were quantified by AAS. High lead, cadmium, chromium, and mercury levels were registered in tissue samples collected from two stations near the Jorf Lihoudi and Safi city, while elevated concentration of manganese and zinc (14.70-25.30 mg kg 21 and 570-650 mg kg 21 dry wt, respectively) were found in mussel specimens from Cap Cantin. The high levels of nickel found respectively in the areas near the industrial area being of concern in terms of environmental health need frequent monitoring. The metal concentrations recorded at the clean stations may be considered as useful background levels to which to refer for comparison within the Atlantic coast. M. galloprovincialis are suitable biomonitors to investigate the contamination levels of heavy metals pollution face a different human activity in this coastal area of the Atlantic coast. # 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
