ResumoA survey of waters adjacent to this heavily urbanized and industrialized region showed concentrations of copper, 65 μg l.−1 to be the highest reported to date for estuarine waters, and lead up to 13.9 μg l.−1 Correlations between distributions of dissolved and total metal concentration in the water column, hydrography, and metal in the sediment were related to benthic studies in this area. Laboratory studies are cited which show the potential for adverse effects on marine animals at these metal concentrations.
