Importance of Water Quality Criteria for Metals
- "Increasing contamination of marine ecosystems by metals such as mercury, cadmium, chromium and nickel has been a global environmental concern, because elevated concentrations of metals can pose hazards to marine organisms, and humans who may consume contaminated seafood.Setting water quality criteria (WQC) of various metals (i.e., environmental safety limits) is an essential step for assessing and regulating their risk levels in the marine environment, and hence offering protection to marine organisms and ecosystem integrity." - Excerpt from The University of Hong Kong.
