Integrated Use of Bioaccumulation, Genotoxic, and Haematological Endpoints to A...
Mieiro, CL; Coelho, JP; Reis, AT; Castro, D; Figueira, P; Martinho, F; Pardal, MA; Pereira, E; Pacheco, M; Lopes, CBBiosorption successfully remediates saline water contaminated with legacy contaminants, but its effects on the health of marine organisms remain unclear. Therefore, our aim was to address this knowledge gap with data on the accumulation ability, as well as the cytogenetic and biochemical effects in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). To this end, we exposed turbot for seven days to a mixture of remediated metals (Re...
Mobility versus retention of mercury in bare and salt marsh sediments of a reco...
Oliveira, VH; Coelho, JP; Reis, AT; Vale, C; Bernardes, C; Pereira, MEDuring decades, mercury (Hg) was discharged into the Aveiro Lagoon. Twenty-five years after the cessation of discharges, sediment cores were collected at two areas to assess the evolution of the mercury contamination status. Vertical Hg profiles differed considerably between bare and vegetated sediments. Bare sediments contained significantly less Hg (<8 mg kg(-1)) than historical data of 1995 (up to 40 mg kg(-...
