Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Mussels from a South American Estuary
(Springer, 2017-03)
Bivalves, especially mussels, have been pointed as putative species to monitor polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine environment. After several environmental PAHs baseline reports, the present study was conducted ...
Avaliação da contaminação dos sedimentos do rio Iguaçu e Barigui por derivados do petróleo
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaDepartamento Acadêmico de Química e Biologia, 2013-05-03)
The anthropogenic activity can cause different environmental damages, being the use of petroleum one that. One of the more expressive kinds of pollution given by oil are the leaking of tanks, pipelines and leakage during ...
Detritivorous fish contamination in the Río de la Plata estuary: a critical accumulation pathway in the cycle of anthropogenic compounds
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2000-06)
Aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, furans, and trace metals have been quantified in fishes collected at four stations in Río de la Plata to determine contaminant ...
First evidence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from a marine protected area within Argentinean Continental Shelf
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-09)
This study evaluated for the first time, the distribution, sources, and ecological risk assessment of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments collected along the northern Patagonian shelf in the Argentine ...
Assessing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the marine atmosphere on a transect across the Southwest Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous and semivolatile pollutants associated with emissions from both natural and anthropogenic sources. For decades, the atmosphere has been considered an efficient vehicle ...
Mussels as Bioindicators of PAHs Pollution within Argentinean Coastal Environments, South America
(Univ Tehran, 2015-09)
The Bahía Blanca Estuary, located at the Atlantic coast of Argentina, includes a governmental nature reserve to protect biodiversity, lands and water; however, as the process of industrialization and urbanization is stepping ...
Distribution and human health risk assessment of PAHs in four fish species from a SW Atlantic estuary
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-08)
The aim of this study is to assess—for the first time—the concentration of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the muscle tissues of four fish species (Micropogonias furnieri, Cynoscion guatucupa, Ramnogaster ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Sources, Occurrence, Levels, Distribution and Ecotoxicological Fate at Coastal and Deep Ocean
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2020)
This chapter presents general aspects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as environmental pollutants and synthesizes information on the presence and levels of PAHs in the coasts and deep sea throughout the world. ...
Occurrence and distribution of anthropogenic persistent organic pollutants in coastal sediments and mud shrimps from the wetland of central Taiwan
(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-17)
Sediment profile and mud shrimp (Austinogebia edulis) from the coastal wetland of central Taiwan in 2017 and 2018 were analyzed for concentration, source, and composition of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including ...
Biomarker responses and PAH ratios in fish inhabiting an estuarine urban waterway
(2017-10-01)
Many cities worldwide are established adjacent to estuaries and their catchments resulting in estuarine contamination due to intense anthropogenic activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate if fish living in an ...
