Ferraro, Alberto Siciliano, Antonietta Spampinato, Marisa Morello, Raffaele Trancone, Gennaro Race, Marco Guida, Marco Fabbricino, Massimiliano Spasiano, Danilo Fratino, Umberto Geologic Sediments Environmental Monitoring Water Pollutants, Chemical Animals Aliivibrio fischeri Ecotoxicology The present work aims at providing a multi-disciplinary approach for environmental monitoring in marine-coastal areas. A monitoring campaign of 13 months (October 2022-October 2023) was carried out on sandy foreshore sediments (SFSs). The SFSs were analysed for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and rare earth elements (REEs) content determination. In the investigated area, variable contamination trends were assessed through Friedman and Nemenyi tests. Further results also indicated the usefulness of statistical data elaboration in the identification of potential contamination sources. In fact, from Spearman test, significant positive correlations (between 0.650 and 0.981) were observed among PTEs of possible anthropogenic origin (such as Co, Cr, Cu, Pb, V, and Zn). For REEs, La and Nd showed strong correlations with Ce (0.909 and 0.920, respectively). The study also integrated luminescence inhibition (Aliivibrio fischeri), algal growth inhibition (Phaeodactylum tricornutum), and embryotoxicity assessment (Paracentrotus lividus) on sediment elutriates showing varying degrees of toxicity. Also these data were analysed through statistics in order to highlight possible correlations between contaminants and observed ecotoxicological effects on the involved bioindicators. The results outline an approach useful for more comprehensive monitoring of marine areas quality and identification of suitable environmental restoration strategies.
