Cover Story: Venice is a peculiar harbor city, where contaminants from myriad sources (e.g., domestic and sewage discharges, commercial and tourist activities, water traffic, etc.) accumulate in the sediment of the canal network. Although these sediments have been found to be heavily contaminated with toxic metals (i.e., As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a recent study shows a substantial decrease in their content during the last two decades. This is mainly attributable to the reduction of internal sources due to sanitation measures and the decline in workshop activities. Only the concentrations of copper and mercury remain of environmental concern. At present, important copper sources include antifouling paints. According to current local regulations, copper concentrations prevent the disposal of dredged canal sediments in the Lagoon. View this paper
