The Chemistry and Bioaccumulation of Copper and Other Heavy Metals by Phytoplankton in the Water Column of San Diego Harbor and their Relationship to Ecological Assessment and Water Quality
1998
Moffett, James W.
My long term goal is to determine the ecological importance of specific toxic metals (copper and zinc) in harbors, through an understanding of their chemistry and biological effects at the base of marine food chains. The major focus is on obtaining quantitative answers to research questions in this area, to establish what concentrations of these elements are acceptable when they are derived from anthropogenic sources. The specific objective is to determine the relationship between heavy metal chemistry and the accumulation of these metals in living cells. Such accumulation influences the toxicity of these metals to small grazers, which are the basis of EPA regulatory criteria and toxicity testing which EPA requires of many navy facilities.
