Status of trace metals contamination and ecological risk assessment in intertidal sediments along the gulf of guinea

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: It is very important to study the distribution, contamination degree, and ecological and human Page 2/22 health risks of sediments with regard to trace metals, and that was the focus of this study in the intertidal zone along Côte d`Ivoire. To appreciate the level of the contamination in the present study, the average of trace metals concentrations in the sediments from intertidal area were compared to data from similar area around the world . Due to the high contamination (CF (Cd=8.00), enrichissement (EF (Cd)=2.41) and accumulation (Igeo (Cd)=-0.58 . . .
