137Cs baseline levels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea: A cross-basin survey of the CIESM Mediterranean Mussel Watch programme
2008

The common mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis was selected as unique biomonitor species to implement a regional monitoring programme, the CIESM Mediterranean Mussel Watch (MMW), in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. As of today, and upon standardization of the methodological approach, the MMW Network has been able to quantify 137Cs levels in mussels from 60 coastal stations and to produce the first distribution map of this artificial radionuclide at the scale of the entire Mediterranean and Black Seas. While measured 137Cs levels were found to be very low (usually <1 Bq kg-1 wet wt) 137Cs activity concentrations in the Black Sea and North Aegean Sea were up to two orders of magnitude higher than those in the western Mediterranean Basin. Such effects, far from representing a threat to human populations or the environment, reflect a persistent signature of the Chernobyl fallout in this area. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Macro and microscopic effects of polluted seasprays on Pinus halepensis needles in El Saler Natural Park (Valencia, Eastern Spain)

Calatayud, V. (Fundacion CEAM, Valencia (Spain)) | Della Rocca, G. | Paoletti, E. | Sanz, M. J.
Coastal forest decline due to seasprays has been reported from all continents, both on broadleaves and conifers. The main cause has been identified in the presence of surfactants. Sea winds transport these substances to the leaves, where they are absorbed via cuticula and stomata producing indirect and also direct damage. The scope of this work is the macroscopic and microscopic assessment of the long term effects of polluted seasprays on Aleppo pines in natural conditions from the Saler coastline (Eastern Spain) inwards. Surfactants may be involved in the damage to Aleppo pine in El Saler as more severe episodes of damage have been observed in the last decade
