Oil spill management: elimination kinetics of PAHs in mussels (Mytilus edulis)

Abstract

Efficient oil spill management in the marine environment requires the ability to predict the rate of loss of individual priority hydrocarbon compounds from marine organisms. Rate of elimination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from mussels decreases with increase in molecular weight and degree of alkylation.
