Article Synopsis
- The study assesses pollution levels in the Gulf of Annaba, Algeria, focusing on trace elements like Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Hg in sediments and Mugil cephalus fish.
- Significant variations in metal levels were found across different sampling stations and seasons, with some stations classified as "sediments at risk."
- The fish from Joannonville and Sidi Salem showed higher contamination levels than safety standards, indicating serious health risks for consumers of fish from these areas.
The aim of this research work is to investigate the abundance of macroplastics and microplastics from North African coasts of Mediterranean Sea in the Gulf of Annaba (Algeria). The study areas are well known for the high population and high industrial activities that can contribute to the plastic pollution. In this case, microplastics were sampled from the surface sediments at four different stations representing different local activities.
