【 摘 要 】

In the present work, metals (cadmium, lead, copper, nickel, tin, selenium, and mercury) have been estimated in the Ebro River (Spain) using the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) as an environmental bio-indicator. In two sequential studies, in 2006 and 2008, concentrations of metals were calculated in water as well as in the shells and fleshes of the zebra mussels. Samples were collected from assorted locations of the river. Metals were determined successfully at trace levels through voltamperometry, a sensitive technique. It has been noted that analysis of bioaccumulators like zebra mussels can be helpful in evaluating metal pollution in water.
