AI Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on analyzing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indigenous mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from seven stations in Prince Islands in September 2015.
- - Total PAH concentrations in the mussel samples ranged from 664 to 9083 ng/g.
- - The PAH origins were identified as pyrolytic on Büyükada and a mix of pyrolytic and petrogenic on other islands based on various chemical ratios.
Article Abstract
In this study, PAH analyses have been conducted on indigenous mussels. Mussel samples (Mytilus galloprovincialis) have been collected from seven stations of Prince Islands during September 2015. Concentrations of total determined PAHs (sum of 16 compounds) ranged between 664 and 9083ngg(-1). The origin of PAHs has been found to be pyrolytic according to the PHE/ANT and FA/PYR ratios in Büyükada. For other islands, PAH origins have been observed as pyrolytic and petrogenic together according to the PHE/ANT, FA/PYR and BaA/CHR ratios.
