Pollution Effects Monitoring with Foraminifera as Indices in the Thana Creek, Bombay Area

Abstract

In the study area, the pollution effect on the foraminiferids is intense, hence highly reliable and measurable. The relative sensitivity of tolerance of the biota is sharply variable and dependent upon the nature of the pollutants discharged. The degree of pollution of this environment can be monitored through delineation of zones of effects of pollution
