N2 - This chapter discusses the accumulation of chemical contaminants in bivalve shellfish and the implications of this accumulation on the safety assessment of shellfish. It focuses primarily on metals because of the extensive available studies on the bioaccumulation of metals in bivalve molluscs, although some representative organic contaminants are also briefly mentioned. Among the metals, a few representative non-essential and toxic metals such as Cd are discussed, as recently there has been an increasing concern about Cd concentrations in bivalves due to new safety standards in shellfish. © 2009 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
