Metals in Mediterranean aquatic species
No full textMetals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), vanadium
(V), have been determined in species of Mediterranean marine organisms collected from areas supposed
to be at background contamination levels. The Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
approach was adopted for the determination of all the metals. Arsenic, Cd and Pb determined in the 42
samples, do not exceed the pertinent maximum level except a sample of hake. In wild fish, the concentration
range for Cr, Ni, V and Cu was, respectively: 0.07–0.09, 87.6–124, 0.022–0.075 and 0.79–1.74 lg/g
fresh weight (fw). The farmed fish samples show concentration levels below the wild fish ones, except for
Cr which range at the same levels. Cadmium and Pb show a high sample number under the quantification limit. The elements do not bio-magnify among the species considered and appear to show low variations in relation to organisms’ position in the food chain and at sampling sites
Legal policy & pandemics
No full textPublish date: 10 January 2022The focus starts with the current COVID-19 pandemic, recognized as ‘the greatest challenge we have faced since World War II’ emerged in Asia in late 2019 and rapidly spread to Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. It undoubtedly represents the major global health crisis of our time still unresolved after two years, despite the wide range of measures adopted at all levels of governance to respond to it.-- Editorial
