Overview

Assessment of heavy metals in marine sediments reveals low risk to human health and the ecosystem on St. Martin's Island.

Key Points

  • Heavy metals concentrations in sediments were below permissible levels, indicating a low risk to marine life.
  • Average concentrations of heavy metals like Mn and Fe were recorded, with a mean risk index of 4.68 revealing low-moderate risk.
  • Assessment utilized atomic absorption spectrometry on samples from 12 sites, confirming sediment quality remained acceptable.
  • Human health risk assessments indicated non-carcinogenic hazard index values were all below the threshold limit, suggesting safety.
