Description

The aim of the current review study was to present data on the accumulation of various heavy metals in the Black Sea ecosystems. Subject of study were Pb, Cd, As, Hg, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe etc. and their content in seawater, sediment, algae and various benthic organisms. Available data from the Bulgarian coast and also from different Black Sea areas were presented.
