Abstract

The objective of this work is to assess the heavy metal contamination of water and sediment in the Danube Delta, approaching also the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer issue. It was conducted in15 sampling sites in Sf. Gheorghe Branch, were collected water, sediment and biological samples from two species of fish with different habitat and trophic level (Crucian carp -Carassius auratus gibelio and Zander -Sander lucioperca). All samples, were analyzed for Pb, Cd, As and Hg by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
