Abstract:
Ebro river (Spain) has been fairly contaminated by industrial effluents. The toxicity level of the river due to heavy metals has been monitored by analyzing zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) samples as bioindicator. To access the level of toxicity ten metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Se, Sn and Zn) were determined by voltamperometry. The conditions of determination were optimized for each metal prior to determination. Aqueous solutions of metals concerned were used as standards in determinations.
