Bioavailability of heavy metals in the Guadalete River Estuary (SW Iberian Peninsula)

Bioavailability of heavy metals in the Guadalete River Estuary (SW Iberian Peninsula)

Sediments in the Guadalete River estuary were studied to determine the bioavailability of five common metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Ni) in order to evaluate the toxicity of the sediment. Total sediment dry weight concentrations of heavy metals, simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) and acid volatile su...

Se analizaron los sedimentos del Estuario del Río Guadalete con el fin de determinar la biodisponibilidad de los metales Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb y Ni, y evaluar la toxicidad de los sedimentos. Se analizó la concentración total de metales, los metales extraídos simultáneamente (SEM), y los sulfuros volátiles ácidos (AVS). Para la evaluación de la toxicidad se calcularon y emplearon los criterios de unidades tóxicas para el agua intersticial (IWCTU). Para ello se emplearon las referencias propuestas por las Guías de Calidad de Sedimentos desarrolladas por la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de Estados Unidos (USEPA). También se ha procedido al análisis de los flujos difusivos a través de la interfase agua-sedimento. Los balances de flujo de entrada y salida mostraron la eficiencia de los sedimentos del Estuario del Guadalete como sumidero de contaminación metálica. La proporción entre SEM y AVS fue menor que 1, e indicaba, en principio, que el sedimento no era tóxico. No obstante, las altas concentraciones de Cu y Pb en el agua intersticial ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de evaluar la biodisponibilidad real y la bioacumulación de los metales a fin de establecer de manera inequívoca la no toxicidad de los sedimentos. 2005-03-06 2021-06-03T03:54:59Z 2021-06-03T03:54:59Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/100 10.7773/cm.v31i12.100 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7343 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/100/80 application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 31 No. 1B (2005); 135-147 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 31 Núm. 1B (2005); 135-147 2395-9053 0185-3880
