Screening-level ecological risk assessment of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in sediments and aquatic biota from the Venice Lagoon, Italy.

Abstract:

:Recent monitoring data indicate that portions of Italy's Venice Lagoon ecosystem have been degraded due to biological and chemical pollution from a variety of potential sources. Using polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) data collected from sediment, fish and shellfish in the Lagoon, a screening-level ecological risk assessment (ERA) was performed to evaluate the risks to representative aquatic biota and wildlife receptors. Risks to aquatic invertebrates posed by PCDD/Fs in sediment were evaluated by comparing measured tissue concentrations in fish and shellfish to appropriate ecotoxicological reference values. For mammalian and avian receptors, risks posed by theoretical exposures to PCDD/Fs through the food chain were calculated using conservative wildlife exposure models. Results of the screening-level approach indicate that the potential for adverse effects to fish and aquatic invertebrate receptors from PCDD/Fs in surficial sediments are unlikely. Adverse effects to wildlife are possible but highly uncertain, and warrants further investigation in a more comprehensive ERA.
