Abstract:

This paper presents an analysis of pollution with heavy metals (cadmium, cooper, zinc, lead) and pesticides: lindan, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) from four fish species from Danube River: Alosa pontica, Cyprinus carpio, Abramis brama and Esox lucius. The concentrations of heavy metals were determined with an atomic absorption spectrophotometric method (air / acetylene flame) and the concentrations of pesticides were determined with a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector (ECD).
