Where's the cadmium in biogenic particulate matter ?
2004
Abe, K. (Seikai National Fisheries Research Inst., Nagasaki (Japan))
A preliminary study on the cadmium (Cd) distribution in biogenic particulate matter was carried out in the subtropical sea near Ishigaki Island. Almost all of the bio-genic Cd was determined to be associated with the organic materials, and the possibility of the estimation of the Cd adsorbed onto the surface of organic materials and associated with metalloproteins was suggested: however further methodological examination such as checking the dissolution of the calcium carbonate (CaC03) phases (hard protective shell) during the chemical leaching treatment of acid hydrogen peroxide (H202) might be necessary.
