Abstract
Heavy metals (iron, copper, and zinc) were quantified in purple crab (Platyxanthus orbignyi) tissues collected in winter (September 2021), spring (November 2021), and summer (March 2022) at three beaches (Tres Hermanas, Fundición, and El Diablo) in Ilo Harbour (Moquegua), South Peru. The rank order of heavy metal concentrations in purple crab tissues and sediments was similar; iron (Fe) was followed by Copper (Cu), and this last one was followed by Zinc (Zn). The heavy metal concentrations in tissue crabs from the three beaches differed from each other spatially and seasonally. In addition, Fundición Beach was the zone with the highest concentration of those three metals during the summer.
期刊介绍：
The journal was established initially by the name of Journal of Environment and Pollution in 1994, whose name was later changed to Nature Environment and Pollution Technology in the year 2002. It has now become an open access online journal from the year 2017 with ISSN: 2395-3454 (Online). The journal was established especially to promote the cause for environment and to cater the need for rapid dissemination of the vast scientific and technological data generated in this field. It is a part of many reputed international indexing and abstracting agencies. The Journal has evoked a highly encouraging response among the researchers, scientists and technocrats. It has a reputed International Editorial Board and publishes peer reviewed papers. The Journal has also been approved by UGC (India). The journal publishes both original research and review papers. The ideology and scope of the Journal includes the following. -Monitoring, control and management of air, water, soil and noise pollution -Solid waste management -Industrial hygiene and occupational health -Biomedical aspects of pollution -Toxicological studies -Radioactive pollution and radiation effects -Wastewater treatment and recycling etc. -Environmental modelling -Biodiversity and conservation -Dynamics and behaviour of chemicals in environment -Natural resources, wildlife, forests and wetlands etc. -Environmental laws and legal aspects -Environmental economics -Any other topic related to environment
