As concentrações de Pb obtidas no Sistema Nacional de Monitorização de Bivalves (SNMB) na matriz biota (Spisula solida e Mytilus sp.) são sempre inferiores às condições de referência
As concentrações de Pb obtidas no Sistema Nacional de Monitorização Biológica na matriz biota (Spisula solida e Mytilus sp.) são sempre inferiores às condições de referência (1.0 mg kg-1, peso húmido).
Spisula solida= 0.12 mg kg-1 (peso húmido).
Mytilus sp.= 0.18 mg kg-1 (peso húmido).
|
The sampling points were chosen on the basis of the criterion of the largest proximity to the production areas of bivalve molluscs within the AQUICO project (Assessment of the Chemical Quality of Litoals, 31-03-01-FEP-0177), and 5 sampling points were taken into account. Water sampling has always been carried out under the same tidal conditions as defined in Directive 2006/113/EC. The analysis of Cd in the dissolved fraction was carried out using passive samplers (diffintensive in thin filter (GTs)).
The Cd values obtained in the analysed samples were always lower than the reference conditions

Na matriz água, Rocha et al. (2017) determinou as concentrações de PAHs em duas amostras de água do mar recolhidas em duas praias atlânticas, ambas localizadas perto da refinaria de petróleo de Perafita e do importante porto marítimo de Leixões. Os valores do somatório dos 16 PAHs foram de 49 ngL-1 (valores médios de benzo-a-pireno=2.9; benzo-b-fluoranteno=10.2, benzo-k-fluoranteno=6.8) e de 60 ngL-1 (valores médios de antraceno=6.5, benzo-a-pireno=2.3, benzo-b-fluoranteno=10.0, benzo-k-fluoranteno=6.6). Estes valores são inferiores aos valores de referência para as substâncias prioritárias na água definidos em 2012 no relatório de avaliação inicial.

The sampling points were chosen on the basis of the criterion of the largest proximity to the production areas of bivalve molluscs within the AQUICO project (Assessment of the Chemical Quality of Litoals, 31-03-01-FEP-0177), and 4 sampling points were taken into account. Water sampling has always been carried out under the same tidal conditions as defined in Directive 2006/113/EC. The analysis of Cd in the dissolved fraction was carried out using passive samplers (diffintensive in thin filter (GTs)).
Water samples were taken for the determination of Cd in the dissolved fraction using passive samplers in the framework of the dredged control work carried out in the BT1.2 area.
The Cd values obtained in the analysed samples were always lower than the reference conditions

The Cd from the National Biological Monitoring System concentrations in the biota matrix (Mytilus sp.) are always lower than the reference conditions (1 mg kg-1 wet weight).

The sampling points were chosen on the basis of the criterion of the largest proximity to the production areas of bivalve molluscs within the AQUICO project (Assessment of the Chemical Quality of Litoals, 31-03-01-FEP-0177), and 4 sampling points were taken into account. Water sampling has always been carried out under the same tidal conditions as defined in Directive 2006/113/EC. The analysis of Cd in the dissolved fraction was carried out using passive samplers (diffintensive in thin filter (GTs)).
The Cd values obtained in the analysed samples were always lower than the reference conditions

The information available for the sediment matrix refers only to the CT area where twelve samples of surface sediment were taken into account in September 2014 as part of the Armona Production Area Impact Assessment (IAAP) project (South of Portugal).
The median A/Al ratio has been above the reference value as defined in the initial assessment (MAMAOT, 2012). However, the proportion of the affected area under 10 % of the total assessment area. In terms of methodology, the limit of 10 % of the assessment area subject to impacts and threats to the ecosystem as high for the Good Environmental State (MAMOAT, 2012) has been used.

GES assessment (good environmental status) was based on expert judgment. The lack of samples from water, sediment and biota matrices means that the degree of confidence in the assessment is extremely low. However, the contiguity of the A2 area with MRU AT under BEA supports the occurrence of GES in the A2. In addition, the widest distance to possible sources of contamination on the mainland and the dilution of non-contaminated particulate matter marine material supports the fact that the area reaches GES.

This area maintains good environmental status, as it is contiguous to areas that are not subject to direct anthropogenic pressures (e.g., submarine outfalls, river discharges). The high hydrodynamics (oceanographic currents; waves) existing on the Portuguese continental shelf is responsible for the dispersion and dilution of contaminated water and sediments. It should be noted, however, that the greatest existing environmental pressure is that exerted by maritime transport and associated actions (discharges of pollutants, waste water or waste). Its large extent and the lack of data led to a low degree of confidence in this assessment.

GES assessment (good environmental status) was based on expert judgment. The lack of samples from water, sediment and biota matrices means that the degree of confidence in the assessment is extremely low. However, the contiguity of B2 with MRU BT on BEA supports GES in B2. In addition, the widest distance to possible sources of contamination on the mainland and the dilution of non-contaminated particulate matter marine material supports the fact that the area reaches GES.

Existing anthropogenic pressures are mainly associated with atmospheric and maritime transport. Also the transport of contaminated particulate matter from estuarine and coastal areas into the deep sea areas of the ocean, combined with sediment dynamics, background morphology (e.g. the existence of underwater guns), and oceanographic and climate processes, may also constitute anthropogenic pressure.
The absence of samples from the water, sediment and biota matrices means that the degree of confidence of the valuation is low. In the case of Area B2, although part of it is contiguous to an area where GES was not reached (BT1.2), areas located along the axis and in the rearmost part of the underwater guns may suffer from some contribution of contaminated sediment. These potentially contaminated areas account for less than 10 % of the assessment area. It should be noted, however, that the effect of these anthropogenic pressures is significantly lower than in subarea BT1.2 as a result of greater distance to contamination and dilution by particulate matter contaminated marine material.

This area maintains good environmental status, as it is contiguous to areas that are not subject to direct anthropogenic pressures (e.g., submarine outfalls, river discharges). The high hydrodynamics (oceanographic currents; waves) existing on the Portuguese continental shelf is responsible for the dispersion and dilution of contaminated water and sediments. It should be noted, however, that the greatest existing environmental pressure is that exerted by maritime transport and associated actions (discharges of pollutants, waste water or waste). Its large extent and the lack of data led to a low degree of confidence in this assessment.

GES assessment (good environmental status) was based on expert judgment. The lack of samples from water, sediment and biota matrices means that the degree of confidence in the assessment is extremely low. Nevertheless, the contiguity of C2 with MRRU CT in BEA supports the occurrence of GES in C2. In addition, the widest distance to possible sources of contamination on the mainland and the dilution of non-contaminated particulate matter marine material supports the fact that the area reaches GES.

The high hydrodynamics (oceanographic currents; waves) existing on the Portuguese continental shelf is responsible for the dispersion and dilution of contaminated water and sediments. It should be noted, however, that the greatest existing environmental pressure is that exerted by maritime transport and associated actions (discharges of pollutants, waste water or waste). Its large extent and the lack of data led to a low degree of confidence in this assessment.
