An in situ study on the distribution, biotransformation and flux of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in an aquatic food chain (seston-Mytilus edulisL.-Somateria mollissimaL.) from the baltic: An ecotoxicological perspective
This in situ study is focusing on the distribution, biotransformation and flux of 19 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH19) in the food chain seston‐blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.)‐common eider duck (Somateria mollissiima L.) as well as the distribution in the gallbladder, liver, adipose tissue an...
