Analysis for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Thermaikos Gulf, Greece

Mussels were collected from the thermaikos gulf, Greece, and analyzed for accumulations of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to determine if these organisms are useful indicators of marine pollution. The mussels contained 17 pah, including acenaphthene, pyrene, and benzo-a-pyrene. Results show t...

Zusammenfassung:Mussels were collected from the thermaikos gulf, Greece, and analyzed for accumulations of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to determine if these organisms are useful indicators of marine pollution. The mussels contained 17 pah, including acenaphthene, pyrene, and benzo-a-pyrene. Results show that the mussels in this area are contaminated with pah.
