An evaluation of the abundance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Glacier Bay, Alaska

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are carcinogenic and mutagenic pollutants that settle in sediments, and disrupt the biology of sealife. This study took sediment samples from Glacier Bay, and measured the amount of PAHs present. Comparison samples from Puget Sound were also analyzed. No PAHs were fo...
