  Heavy Metal Pollution Assessment in Sediment of Mussel Habitats UsingGeochemical Indices
  Author(s): Hossein Saberi Kouchesfehani* and Seyed Naser Azizi
  
  The heavy metals Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, and Ni were analyzed in the soft tissue of mussels (Anodonta cygnea) as well as in sediments at five regions of Anzali Wetland, on the southern bank of the Caspian Sea during October and November 2016. The data were applied for assessing the pollution levels in emphasizing the mussel habitats by geochemical indices and furthermore answering the inquiry whether these indices can predict the contaminant level in the swan mussel soft tissue. The highest geochemical indices in the sediment: EF, Igeo, CF, and PLI revealed moderately to seriously contamination level of Cd and Pb in sampling sites. The sheijan and Bahambar also showed a higher contamination level of metals than in other regions. According to the ecological risk index (RI) Mahrouzeh, Hendekhaleh, Abkenar, and Bahambar areas were presented within the range of moderate risk level. Addi.. View more»
