| Publisher Description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic environments. Because of their hydrophobicity, PAHs accumulate in bed sediments and pose risk to the benthos. Informations on the toxicity of sediment-associated PAHs is, however, limited and more information is needed to improve sediment quality-criteria and eoological risk analysis. |
