| Summary: | ☺ Estimated direct and riverine inputs of lead into the north-east Atlantic have decreased between 1990–99, which shows the effects of emission reduction target setting in OSPAR and the EU. ☺ Estimated inputs of lead into the North Sea have decreased between 1987 and 1995, showing the effect of air pollution abatement policies in the countries surrounding the North Sea. ☺ Estimations indicate an inconsistent but decreasing trend for lead in mussels from both the north-east Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. ☺ Estimations indicate decreasing trend was evident for concentrations in cod in the north-east Atlantic indicating use of non-lead containing petrol. Estimations indicate no decreasing trend was evident for concentrations in cod in the Baltic indicating ongoing use of lead containing petrol. Estimations for inputs and concentrations in mussels and fish have been derived from data that are unbalanced, incomplete or both. (A) Direct and riverine inputs of lead into the north-east Atlantic and atmospheric input into the North Sea. (B) Lead concentrations in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) from north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean mussel (M. galloprovincialis) from the Mediterranean. |
