Add to ORKGPrevious studies have shown that the river Sado Estuary (W Portugal) is highly susceptible to contamination due to anthropogenic activity. In fact, sizable concentrations of metals, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured in sediments from various points of the estuary. Those compounds may be absorbed by aquatic species, making it a public health issue when entering the human food chain. The purpose of this study was to assess the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of sediment extracts in a human cell line, through the neutral red uptake assay and the alkaline comet assay, respectively. Three sediment samples were collected: two in potentially contaminated sites (samples C and F, Sado Estuary) and one in a pu...
