Arsenic concentrations in estuarine sediments from England and Wales range over three orders of magnitude. The highest concentrations, up to 2500 μg/g, occur the estuaries south west associated with past or present metalliferous mining activity. Strong correlations exist between arsenic iron 1 N-HC1 extracts different sediments. As/Fe ratio those not contaminated mine wastes is 11 × 10 −4 , increasing 190 —4
The recognition that non-essential metals, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, could, upon entering aquatic environments, produce harmful effects to man, directly or through food chains, has resulted in studies directed towards the identification of potentially hazardous levels.
Preliminary determinations of heavy metals in winkles Littorina littorea along a concentration gradient the Fal Estuary suggested that whole body concentrations might be related to those water. When animals were transplanted this heavily contaminated estuary, changes tissue As, Co, Cu and Zn largely complete after 2 months. Relations between winkle water may indirect since its algal diet is thought main source for most metals. Data from large number United Kingdom estuaries used compare 12...
This review provides insights into the distribution and impact of oestrogens xeno-oestrogens in aquatic environment highlights some significant knowledge gaps our understanding endocrine disrupting chemicals. Key areas uncertainty assessment risk include role estuarine sediments mediating fate bioavailability environmental (xeno)oestrogens (notably their transfer to benthic organisms food chains), together with evidence for disruption invertebrate populations. Emphasis is placed on using...

Cadmium, and its compounds, has been placed on the blacklists of most international pollution conventions by virtue toxicity, potential for bioaccumulation persistence (Taylor, 1983). The ability many marine molluscs, in particular gastropods, to accumulate Cd a high degree apparently unregulated fashion led their frequent use monitoring programmes. Thus levels winkle, Littorina littorea (L.) closely reflect gradients environmental contamination (Bryan et al . 1983), demonstrating excellent...
Analyses of the cirratulid polychaete Tharyx marioni have shown that this species contains a high concentration arsenic, its whole-body usually exceeding 2000 μg/g dry weight, even when living under low ambient arsenic conditions. Similar levels are present in both juvenile and adult worms. Other species, such as Cirriformia tentaculata Caulleriella caputesocis , from same habitat contain concentrations (< 100 weight). Much T. ( ca . 20 %) is contained palps which comprise about 4% body...
