discharges. The highest reported values could have toxic
effects since as little as 5 g/l zinc can cause avoidance
reaction by fishes. In addition the increase in zinc toxicity
in brackish or sea water could mean that these concentrations
are potentially hazardous.
Cadmium ranged from <0.08 to 4.7 ug/l in 1969, mean
2.0 ug/l, with similar values for the early part of 1970.
The acceptable limit for drinking water is 10 pg/l (Ref. 7).
However, this exceeds toxic levels for some sensitive aquatic
organisms: like zinc, cadmium toxicity increases with increase
of pH and other factors influenced by sea water concentration.
