- Title
Adverse Effects of Polluted Continental Water Bodies in Chile on Frog Adrenergic Synapse.

- Abstract
The article examines the mercury concentrations in fishes of the lower Gállego and Cinca Rivers and the distribution of this pollutant within the fish community and compares the concentrations of mercury in these fishes with action levels established by the European Union in order to protect the public health. A one-way and two-way analysis of variance were used to estimate the effects of the species, the river and their interactions on the mercury concentrations in the fish. The researchers concluded that total mercury levels in fishes from the sampled areas of the lower Gállego and Cinca Rivers are very high and may be considered dangerous to human health.
