Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we present a diagnosis concerning the state of healthiness of the coast of the city of El Jadida by: characterisation of the various collectors rejected in sea without any preliminary treatment, measure of the physicochemical parameters of seawater from sampling stations, evaluation of the concentration of certain heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) in four species of algae, which shows that metal contents vary according to the species and the sampling stations, measure of the metal content in mussels, which varies according to the site. A comparative study with the data of the literature shows that algae and mussels generally present values that are weaker than those coming from other geographical areas.
