Tagus and Sado estuaries

Dissolved metal concentrations in the water column; Particulate metal concentrations in the water column; Concentration of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in the water column; Concentration of other organic contaminants in the water column; Dissolved trace metalloid and inorganic selenium concentrations in water bodies; Particulate trace metalloid and inorganic selenium concentrations in water bodies; Bioassay and contaminant biological impact

Discrete water samplers

The project comprised: 1) a study of pollutants' transfer from industrial areas of Sado and Tagus estuaries to estuarine areas of greater biological productivity; 2) identification of areas subject to lesser impact of pollution and contribution to the characterisation of suitable areas for aquaculture; 3) determination of bioaccumulation of pollutants in fishery resources of estuaries.
