“…3-9 l/h g/dry mass), they seem to be more appropriate for reflecting metal concentrations in marine waters presenting a clear ecotoxicological relevance (Rainbow and Phillips 1993;Conti and Cecchetti, 2003). In the last decades, studies on bivalves and gastropod mollusks from different marine geographical areas have been extensively examined in a number of field studies contributing to a better knowledge on metal bioaccumulation processes (Giarratano et al, 2010;Aydın-Önen and Öztürk, 2017;Joksimovic et al, 2016Joksimovic et al, , 2018; see reviews Beyer et al, 2017;Reguera et al, 2018). These studies have also contributed to the evaluation of possible human health risks resulting from their consumption (Yüzereroğlu et al, 2010;Connan and Tack, 2010;Stankovic et al, 2012;Conti et al, 2012a;Jović and Stanković, 2014;Shefer et al 2015;Primost et al, 2017).…”

In this study, we have investigated Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the biomonitors Mytilus chilensis and Nacella (P) magellanica sampled along seven selected sampling sites along km of the coastal area of the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) in four sampling campaigns: 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2012. The control charts were built by applying Johnson's (Biometrika 36: 149-175, 1949) probabilistic method for the first time in this marine area. We determined the metal concentration overlap ranges in the selected biomonitors (as well as medians and distribution), and the overlap bioaccumulation index (OBI) with respect to the lowest (OBI-L1) and the highest (OBI-L) extreme values of the overlap metal concentration ranges. The OBI can be used as an integrative tool in the management of prevailing unpolluted/polluted marine coastal ecosystems. It consents to identify the most suitable organisms for managing several environmental conditions where an ecosystem quality control is needed. The OBI-L1 index can be employed as a preventive signal of alarm when the contamination process is in its early stages. For Cd, Cr, Cu, and Ni, Nacella showed high OBI-L values that suggest its use as a biomonitor for mainly polluted marine ecosystems, in particular for Cd. Mytilus showed high Cd values for the OBI-L1 which means that this species is highly sensitive to a very low variation of the Cd levels in seawater. Good OBI-L1 values were instead obtained for Mytilus for Cr and Cu, showing the good aptitude of these organisms to detect minimum variations of trace metals concentrations in seawater. The OBI index and its related guidelines have both theoretical and practical implications in environmental management. They can be used, for instance, in environmental prevention from events such as oil spills or other marine disasters. Marine ecosystems are complex systems. According to the Ashby's Law (1957, 1958), the understanding of a complex system (requisite variety) depends on the information variety owned by the observer. The OBI index enhances the observer's information variety about the performance of the molluscs as metal biomonitors in marine ecosystems. Eventually, here we propose to conceptualize the wide set of biomonitoring knowledge endowment as an open and evolutionary endowment of information variety supporting the environmental management.

“…are still very scarce. To the best of our knowledge, there is no national or international literature on P. caerulea, especially regarding the detection of regional heavy metal pollution in the Sea of Marmara, although a limited number of studies have been carried out in the Mediterranean (Ramelow 1985;Türkmen et al 2005;Ayas et al 2009;Yüzereroğlu et al 2010;Duysak & Azdural 2017), the Aegean (Uysal et al 1989;Aydın-Önen & Öztürk 2017), and the Black Seas (Öztürk 1994;Bat et al 2015). This study is the first to measure the heavy metal concentration in the whole-body tissue of P. caerulea, sampled from the Yalova Samanlıdere fishermen's shelter region (selected from the Gulf of Izmit, where intensive industrial production takes place in the Marmara Sea).…”

In this study, monthly heavy metal concentrations in the whole-body tissue of Patella caerulea (Mediterranean limpets), a bioindicator species living in the coastal zone of the Gulf of Izmit (Marmara Sea), were examined for the first time. The mean metal concentrations in Patella caerulea (mg kg-1 dw) were 2.01–5.74 Cd, 2.45–12.90 Cu, 0.74–1.95 Pb, 21.12–109.57 Zn, 16.31–154.67 Ni, and 1120.67–3086.00 Fe. Cd levels in all months and Pb levels in October and November were found to be above the safe limits set by international organizations. The estimated daily intakes and estimated weekly intakes determined for each heavy metal were below the acceptable daily intakes and provisional tolerable weekly intakes. However, the target hazard quotient and total target hazard quotient values calculated for Cd, Ni, and Fe were found to be higher than 1. The carcinogenic risk value was also found to be high.

The present study has been carried out to estimate heavy metals mobility, bioconcentration and transfer from polluted soil to roots tissues and from roots tissues to aerial parts using bioconcentration factor and translocation factor. Soil samples and the biomass of the eight vegetable species have been collected during summer season, 2019 from four different sites in Wadi Al-Arg, Taif Governorate, KSA. In general, heavy metals content of soil samples in site III and IV have recorded elevated values compared with those of site I and II. The soil from site IV has shown the highest concentration of Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Cd amounted 31.63, 14.05, 13.56, 22.79, 31.02 and 2.98 mg/kg dry soil respectively, while the soil from site III has shown the highest concentration of Zn. The data referred to the fact that Mentha longifolia, Cucumis sativus, Capsicum annuum, Lactuca sativa Cucurbita pepo, and Anethum graveolens that grown in sites of investigation could be recognized as suitable for human consumption. These six vegetables could accumulate the measured heavy metals in their tissues with acceptable quantities, less than the permissible levels of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Otherwise, heavy metal concentrations in Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum melongena have been found to be higher than permissible limits of FAO. Both plants also have shown elevated bioconcentration factors values for most of measured heavy metals.
