Article Synopsis
- The Mauritanian Atlantic coast is crucial for both the economy and ecosystem but is facing pollution from human activities, particularly PAH contamination.
- To evaluate this pollution, the coast was categorized into four zones, revealing that the most contaminated zones (PNkt and LBZ) had significantly higher PAH levels in sediments compared to the less stressed zones (PNBA and PDlt).
- The findings indicate heightened risks for both carcinogenic effects and ecological damage in the more polluted zones, emphasizing the need for sustainable management of the coastal resources in Mauritania.
