Infaunal bivalve communities are known to pose potential public health risks, as they are bioaccumulators that may be regularly harvested for human consumption. To assess a possible health risk of heavy metal contamination from factory waste output, samples of the locally-consumed venus clam, Paphia textile were collected from nearshore soft-bottom communites of Katipunan and Roxas, Zamboanga del Norte. They were analyzed for lead and zinc concentrations. The highest levels of lead (mean + SD = 0.90 + 0.2955 mg/kg) and zinc (mean + SD = 6.08 + 1.88 mg/kg) were obtained from the Tuburan site, located nearest the Southern Island Oil Mill Port Area. The concentration levels from the sampling sites indicated that the coastal waters of Katipunan...
