In the Fal estuary, England, long-term metal pollution over the past 120 years has resulted in zinc sediment levels between 679 and 1780 mg/kg DW, producing benthic communities that favor zinc-tolerant organisms, such as oysters and nereid polychaetes, and a general impoverishment of mussels, cockles, other polychaetes, and gastropods (Bryan et al. 1987).

Atmospheric contaminants from smelting works or combustion processes eventually enter the natural drainage system as fall out, and are carried into the rivers. It is probable that the deposition of sediments and the higher pH of marine water, which leads to precipitation, results in a build-up of the heavy metal pollutants in the river estuary. An assessment of this build-up is essentially an analytical problem.

Theoretically in rivers and estuaries under severe trace metal pollution stress the same situation (M > L) might occur. In this case the limit to the possible "negative" CCcu is determined by the actual degree of contamination (Fig. 7 e).
