Article Synopsis
- Cadmium and lead concentrations were measured in common algal species along the southern coasts of Argentina, focusing on two areas: one affected by an industrial city and another known for seaweed harvesting.
- Samples from the harvesting area showed low metal levels, while brown seaweeds from the industrial site displayed noticeable accumulation of lead and cadmium.
- Aluminum analysis revealed significantly high levels in the industrial area, especially in the species Colpomenia sinuosa, although overall cadmium and lead levels were lower than those in other polluted marine areas worldwide.
Arsenic in the inorganic and organic forms was analyzed in species of marine macro-algae growing in the South Atlantic Ocean. Species of the genera Lessonia, Gigartina, Adenocystis, Leathesia and Colpomenia were investigated. Arsenic accumulation was found in all species studied.
