Marine Geochemistry WMS

The map service shows levels of heavy metals and other inorganic environmental indicators in surface sediments, as well as content of mud and TOC, which are important factors for binding and accumulation of heavy metals in the sediments. The term heavy metals includes all metallic elements that have a relatively high specific gravity. Heavy metals are natural constituents of the earth's crust and occur in varying concentrations in most natural materials. In addition, the content of microplastic particles in sediments is shown as one of the important environmental indicators.

Specific usage

Many heavy metals are toxic even in low concentrations. Heavy metals have a tendency to bioaccumulate, ie. the concentration in an organism can increase in relation to the concentration in the environment. In this way, abnormally high content of heavy metals in the marine environment can have a detrimental effect on marine biota and human seafood users. It is therefore important to measure and monitor the content of heavy metals and other environmental elements in water and sediments.
