Description 561-563
During present study the
concentration of Cd, Hg, Mn and Pb in sediment and Invertebrate of Musa
estuary, Hendijan, and Boshehr coasts was determine using atomic absorption
spectrometer. The results showed that the highest level of Cd, Hg and Mn was
observed in Musa estuary sediment and organisms. The maximum concentration of
Pb was recorded in Boshehr coast. Musa estuary receives heavy metals from
petrochemical units that are established a decade ago in the area, while
Bosherhr coast is suffering from huge amounts of tankers traffic and oil
transportation in its bank. The correlation between metals level in sediment
and Invertebrate showed that there are significant correlation between Hg
concentration in sediment and portunus pelagicus.
