Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in fish from remote and high mountain lakes in Europe and Greenland
11 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables.-- PMID: 15081697 [PubMed].-- Available on line Dec 16, 2003. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analysed in liver of fifty-seven individual trout distributed among seven high mountain lakes in Europe and one remote lake in Greenland. In all cases, very simila...
