Title: Bioccumulation of halogenated compounds by limpets and fucoid seaweeds in the vicinity by the Black Rock sewage outfall, Weston-Super-Mare
Author: Mitch Perkins
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine whether the discharge of disinfected sewage effluent from the Black Rock outfall during the summer bathing season, was resulting in the bioaccumulation of chlorinated and brominated compounds in seaweeds (Fucus vesiculosus ) and limpets (Patella spp.) collected from Weston and Sand Bay.
