| Abstract |
|
Metals play an important role in the deterioration of the Venice lagoon ecosystem. Since these pollutants are persistent in the environment, they can be hardly removed from the most contaminated sites, where they can reach very high levels and, as a consequence, cause serious problems to the community of organisms living therein. The presence of metals can influence negatively the efficiency of the lagoon metabolism, through the inhibition of the anabolic and catabolic processes that control the autoregulation and autodepuration capacity of the system. This research is aimed at acquiring knowledge on the relationships between the chemical forms of metals and their bioavailability, on metal mobility in the various environmental compartments, on the pathways of introduction in the food chain and on bioaccumulation mechanisms. A particular attention is posed to metals such as mercury and arsenic, which are of great importance both for environmental and human health. Added by: Dott. Alessandro Meggiato |
