Abstract
Some trace elements (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) are dosed in sediment, mussel and alga samples in order to study their diffusion in a modified riverine-coastal system. It has been possible to show that the construction of a artificial barrier overlooking the river’s mouth caused an anomalous concentration of metals in all substrata analysed. Moreover a higher concentration of these metals was found on the northern shore of the river because of the prevalently northern direction of the coastal sea current.File in questo prodotto:
