| dc.description.abstract | Marine sediment, seawater and several species of seaplants along the Kenya-
Mombasa coastal region were analyzed to determine the levels of heavy metals
by AAS and EDXRF and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) by GLC-ECD.
In marine sediments, there were high levels of manganese (1100 mg/L) at Vanga,
compared to other study sites. In seawater, the heavy metals were detected in
levels higher than those considered as natural in the ocean and the range was
0.01–0.30 mg/L. OCPs were detected in marine sediments and in seaplants. The
trend of concentration of these pollutants in ascending order in seawater, marine
sediment and seaplants was observed. | en_US |
