Lead concentrations in sediments and mollusc gastropod from Vridi Canal, Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract: Lead (Pb) is one of the most frequent and toxic contaminant in the environment. It can be bioaccumulated by marine organisms through contaminated sediments as well as their food chains. The current study aimed at investigating Pb occurrence in the sediments and gastropod P. haemastostoma from Vridi Canal. Sediment samples were taken using a Van Veen steel grab of 0.02 m2 area, sealed in plastic bags and transported to the laboratory at 4 °C. Gastropod P. haemastostoma species were collected manually using glov… Show more

“…This can lead to arsenic accumulation by plants from contaminated soils, creating bioaccumulation in trophic chains. It is therefore necessary to assess the arsenic content of soils in mining areas, as they have been shown to be the main reservoirs of these contaminants [6]. At present, scientific investigations into the level of contamination arising from industrial gold mining activities in Côte d'Ivoire are inadequate.…”
