“…Food chain contamination by heavy metals has become a burning issue in recent years because of their potential accumulation in bio-systems through contaminated water and sediments. In hydrosphere, concentrations of toxic metal are typically orders of magnitude greater in the sediments as compared to those in overlying waters [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The capacity of sediments to accumulate most of these heavy metals make them useful and sensitive indicators for monitoring changes in the aquatic environment.…”

“…The capacity of sediments to accumulate most of these heavy metals make them useful and sensitive indicators for monitoring changes in the aquatic environment. Therefore for better understanding of heavy metal sources, their accumulation in the aquatic sediments seem to be particularly important issues of present day research on risk assessments [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

The present study was performed for the period of one year from January 2013 to December 2013 in order to understand the level of toxic heavy metals in the sediments of Mahul Creek near Mumbai. The annual average concentration of heavy metals like Cr, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, As and Hg was found to be 277.5, 121.7, 100.3, 63.8, 21.5, 14.6, 10.4 and 4.9 ppm respectively. It is feared that this heavy metals accumulated in the creek sediments may enter the water thereby creating threat to the biological life of an aquatic ecosystem. The results of present study indicates that the existing situation if mishandled can cause irreparable ecological harm in the long term well masked by short term economic prosperity due to extensive industrial growth
