TL;DR: In this paper, several of the most widely used trace metal extraction techniques are compared for many commonly measured transition metals using a variety of naturally occurring major marine sediment types, and the results were generally quite good, both with regard to metal phase fractionation and overall total extraction of available metals.

TL;DR: The metal concentrations recorded at the clean stations may be considered as useful background levels to which to refer for comparison within the Mediterranean area, but on the contrary, the high levels of chromium and mercury found respectively in the areas near the Gulf of Taranto and at Capo Passero need frequent monitoring.
Abstract: Trace metal concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead and chromium in Patella caerulea, and Mullus barbatus were investigated to provide information on pollution of Ionian Sea, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. High chromium levels (0.47–0.97 μg g−1 ww) were registered in limpet samples collected from two station near the Gulf of Taranto, while elevated concentration of mercury (0.31–1.50 μg g−1 ww) were found in mullet specimens from Sicily. The metal concentrations recorded at the clean stations may be considered as useful background levels to which to refer for comparison within the Mediterranean area. On the contrary, the high levels of chromium and mercury found respectively in the areas near the Gulf of Taranto and at Capo Passero being of concern in terms of environmental health need frequent monitoring.

TL;DR: The temporal trends of anthropogenic metal fluxes showed that the contamination history of Pb was earlier than that of Cd and Zn, which was in agreement with the regional Pb emission history, but lagged behind the Pb decline in Europe and North America.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of metals on humans and animals were investigated in the context of lead poisoning in waterfowl using field and experimental data, and the results showed that lead poisoning was more prevalent in birds than humans.
