Heavy metal uptake of nearshore benthic foraminifera during multi-metal culturing experiments

Abstract ± ± ± ± ± ±  0.01). Ammonia aomoriensis further showed a correlation with Mn and Cu, A. batava with Mn and Hg, and E. excavatum with Cr and Ni and partially also with Hg. However, Zn, Sn and Cd showed no clear trend for the species studied, which in the case of Sn was maybe caused by the lack of variation in the seawater Sn concentration. The calibrations and the calculated partition coefficients render A. aomoriensis, A. batava and E. excavatum as natural archives that enable the determination of variations in some heavy metal concentrations in seawater in polluted and pristine environments.
