“…Also, there is a considerable untreated waste outfall and Ilha Grande Bay presents a low water circulation, which contributes to the accumulation of metals in the inner bay. 38,39 The high organic matter content, silt and clay dominant particle size and the low redox potential observed in the sediments, favors the adsorption and the complexation of these trace metals in the mangrove sediments of Saco do Mamanguá. 36,17 On the other hand, the contents of the trace metals, could be also related to a possible migration of these contaminants from the neighboring Sepetiba Bay, witch composes an estuarine system with Ilha Grande Bay.…”

Urban and industrial activities are major sources of pollution to mangrove forests. Mangrove sediments can act as sink and reservoir for a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals. The aim of this study was to investigate the contents of trace metals (Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in sediment samples from a potentially unpolluted mangrove ecosystem in the south of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Determination of pH, Eh, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and particle size were also performed. In accordance to the international criteria of quality of sediment, the results indicate anthropogenic influence since some metals reached excessive values, which can affect the balance of the ecosystem studied. According to the results, the area cannot be considered a trace metal non-polluted area. Despite not having a significant source of metals inside the Bay nowadays, Ilha Grande Bay harbors a shipyard, an oil terminal, and a commercial port, as well as two thermonuclear power plants, all of which indirectly influence the study area.

“…In addition, anthropogenic activities, including farming, are increasing near this estuary (Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Cirebon, 2013). However, metal concentrations in Cisanggarung estuary have not yet been examined although anthropogenic activities have become a major source of metal input into the aquatic environment in various areas in the world (Ashton et al, 2010;Freret-Meurer, 2010). The main purposes of this work was to determine Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn distribution in the marine sediment near the Cisanggarung estuary.…”

Volcanic activities have infl uenced the Cisanggarung estuary in western Cirebon Regency, altering metal concentrations in the bottom sediment. Observation of metal content in the ocean there was carried out in August 2009. Sediment samples were collected at 16 stations along the Cisanggarung coastline. The aim of this work was to determine the spatial distribution of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in the sediment of the Cisanggarung estuary. Sediment was destructed using 3 acids: nitric acid, chloride acid and peroxide acid, which was then analyzed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry based on the US EPA 3050b method. The highest concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in the sediment were 0.73 mg/kg dry weight, 31.4 mg/kg dry weight, 23.9 mg/kg dry weight and 143 mg/kg dry weight, respectively. The metals in the sediment had accumulated near the shoreline, up to fi ve kilometers away from the river mouth, indicating that terrestrial area and sediment fractions infl uenced their distribution.
