Bioaccumulation of cadmium in marine organisms

  • Chapter
Cadmium in the Environment

Part of the book series: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 50))

Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) occurs in very low concentrations in open ocean water, averaging about 40 ng/1 in unpolluted surface waters57. Similarly, Eaton43 and Bewers et al.10 suggested the background concentration of Cd for North Atlantic surface waters to be 40–60 ng/1. The level for Pacific oceanic water is 36 ng/119. Increased concentrations have been observed in the Mediterranean, Baltic, and North Sea, where circulation and water mass turnover are limited. Cadmium level in coastal and estuarine water normally is higher, primarily due to weathering and anthropogenic inputs; levels higher by several orders of magnitude have been reported1,13,31,68,82,133.
