摘要: Accumulation of 8 heavy metals (HM), Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn, was assessed in the leaves sediments gray mangrove (Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh.) at three sites along Tubli Bay using Inductive Coupled Plasma Analyzer. The results showed no significant differences HM contents mangroves between except for Mo Zn. concentrations (mg L−1) were following order: Fe > Zn Mn Cu Ni Cr. Significant existed sediment content site other two with regard to due direct exposure wastewater outfalls. A general trend decline noticeable from top towards deeper layers all study area. Concentration Cr Pb Ni. concentration far exceeded amount present amounts comparable regional findings fell within known quality guidelines.
