Abstract
Few studies are concerned with heavy metal pollution caused by the use of various paints in water ecosystems. In a study on the content of metals in dockyard sediments, elevated levels of Cu and Zn from antifouling paints, and Pb from anticorrosive and primer paints were reported. In the present work, a study was performed close to a sailing boat harbor of heavy metal pollution using biological samples. The concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd and PB were determined in the organs of freshwater mussel (Unio pictorum L.) by AAS technique.
