Contaminant Screening
Trace Metals
- The majority of trace metals concentrations in sediments and biota correspond to natural background levels in marine environments
- Mercury concentrations continue to be very low in sediment and the observed total Hg levels in fish (Hamoor) maintained to be below the 0.5 µg g-1 (wet wt) threshold
- Unexplained high concentrations of Arsenic have been maintained in some bivalves during 1994-2005
- Nickel and Chrome dominant in high concentration in almost all collected inter-tidal sediments
Examples of Obtained Results
