Hygienic condition of marine waters and sediments in the Gulf of Naples.
Faecal indicators of pollution were analysed in water and sediment samples which were collected in stations located in the gulf of Naples. Results showed the generalised build-up capacity typical of the sediments. Analyses stressed the extent of the pollution in the gulf: sediments might be polluted also in zones where the overlying waters remained faecally uncontaminated.
