It is therefore suggested that this element should be included in the list of substances subject to review as hazardous substances, such as other substances listed in Annex III to Directive 2008/105/EC of 16 December 2008.

Cadmium is considered to be a natural contaminant resulting from thermal thermal activity.

Cadmium is considered to be a natural contaminant resulting from thermal thermal activity.
|
Chromium enters into different environmental matrices (air, water and soil) through a variety of natural and man-made sources.
|
The increase of copper in the marine environment, with mineralisation sources, has a potential impact on physiology as a driver of apoptosis (cell death) of deep-sea organisms.

|
It should be noted that Chumbo presented higher values in Leopathes sp. compared to gorgonians.

|
Manganese (manganese nodules) is one of the deep-sea mineral resources. This is also an element naturally present in the middle.
|
High values for selenium are recorded for Megabanus azoricus (commercial species) (Dionísio et al., 2013).
|
The toxicity of zinc varies with the chemical properties of the water and its bioavailability is controlled by interactions of competing ions.
|
There is no data for the Azores sub-region on significant acute pollution events.

|
Selenium is known as an element of high toxicological and ecotoxicological relevance as it is an essential micronutrient for most organisms but also becomes toxic in high concentrations. For this reason, there is great interest in understanding the behaviour of this element in the environment.
|
Zinc is naturally found at low concentrations in rock and soil. Zinc can be fed into water naturally through the erosion of minerals from the rocks themselves and soil.

Description parameter |
Although the maximum value has exceeded the maximum permissible value (threshold) this figure is of a one-off nature, measured in only one sampling (September 2016), the remaining sampling is below the minimum levels of detection or below the maximum permissible values.
The island of Madeira is naturally rich in cadmium, because of its mainly volcanic origin, the significant increase in cadmium levels is likely to result from the impact of the fires that occurred on the island of Madeira in August 2016, which destroyed major forest and urban areas and consequently resulted in the release of cadmium to the environment.

As far as the PAHs quantification is concerned, naphthalene, anthracene and fluoranthene have been recorded, however these figures have been quantified at all times in the order of ng/L, i.e. values always well below the minimum permitted values laid down in DL 218/15. For other PAHs the values are below the detection levels of the apparatus (BDL)

According to the data obtained during the 2 years of monitoring, and the analysis of the results, it can be concluded that the coastal water bodies of the Madeira Archipelago are in good/excellent physical and chemical and morphological conditions. As far as physical and chemical parameters are concerned, the data point to one-off and non-significant disruptions, never resulting in a decrease in the ecological quality of the body of water. No situations were also found in hydromorphological terms that indicate the existence of any relevant disturbance, in particular of anthropic origin.

Description parameter |
Wave across the Portuguese continental shelf is responsible for the dispersion and dilution of contaminated water and sediments. It should be noted, however, that the greatest environmental pressure is that of maritime transport and associated actions (discharge of pollutants, waste water or waste). Their large scale and lack of data led to a low degree of confidence in this assessment.

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.
