Organochlorine contaminants in fish and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Barents Sea

Organochlorine contaminants in fish and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Barents Sea

Sediment samples from 140 locations in the Barents Sea were analysed for diaromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The concentrations found were lower than typical levels found at more southern latitudes such as in deposition areas of the North Sea, but higher than expected background levels....

Zusammenfassung:Sediment samples from 140 locations in the Barents Sea were analysed for diaromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The concentrations found were lower than typical levels found at more southern latitudes such as in deposition areas of the North Sea, but higher than expected background levels. This paper presents the distribution of selected aromatic hydrocarbons in the sediments. Concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene ranged from
