Sažetak
The aim of the study was to characterize physicochemical and ecotoxicological properties of marine sediments for the following testing of PCB accumulation by passive samplers. Further data on the sediment quality in the Eastern Adriatic regarding heavy metal, PAH and PCB concentrations are urgently needed, because the environmental authorities have to define the limits for contaminants in sediments for a different use of marine resources. We collected sediments at 5 locations in Rovinj costal area according to the degree/extent/intensity of human activities – pollution, and applied French and German regulations. Sediment chemical and leachates toxicity analyses classified our sites S5 and S4 as pristine areas. These also ranked our sites as per the degrees of contamination (S5<S4<S3<S2<S1) and decreasing phytotoxic effects (S5>S4>S1>S2>S3).
