Кількісна оцінка поліметалічного забруднення р. Дніпро методом розрахунку фонового вмісту важких металів у молюсках Anodonta anatina
Quantitative assessment of polymetallic pollution of the Dnieper river by a method of heavy metals background concentration calculation in mussel Anodonta anatina

Summary/Abstract: Statistically significant exceeding of a background level of the heavy metal content in Anodonta anatina (Linnaeus, 1758) soft tissues was applied for pollution measure. The method of the median absolute deviation (MAD) was used for the heavy metals’ background and threshold levels assessment. The comparison of metal contents in mussels from 23 studied area of Ukrainian part of the Dnieper with the calculated background level allowed to determine the pollution degree of some river’s sites.
