El cobre en el sedimento de las rías gallegas: niveles naturales y contaminación portuaria

metal, sedimento, concentraciones de fondo, puerto, ría, EspañaResumen
A partir de 389 muestras de sedimento superficial y 5 testigos de sedimento se ha determinado la distribución, concentraciones naturales y niveles de contaminación por cobre en los sedimentos de las rías gallegas. En base a sedimentos preindustriales se ha obtenido una correlación entre hierro y cobre aplicable a las rías: [Cu (mg kg–1)] / [Fe (g kg–1)] = 0.55. Al calcular con esta ecuación los factores de enriquecimiento por cobre del sedimento superficial se ha detectado una fuerte contaminación en las zonas portuarias y de astilleros en la costa gallega. Bajo este aspecto son las rías de Ferrol y Vigo las más alteradas mientras que lo contrario ocurre con las rías del norte de Galicia. Este tipo de contaminación por cobre en el noroeste de la península Ibérica se suma a algunos casos derivados del tráfico y construcción de buques observados en otras áreas costeras del planeta.
