- Abstract
The article focuses on a study, in which total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in surface microlayer (SMICs) collected from a contaminated site, Sutton Harbour, and a relatively clean site, Plymouth Sound in Great Britain. Mortalities were observed in all treatments between 8 and 96 hours with the Plymouth Sound SMIC, the lipid extract from Plymouth Sound, and the artificial SMIC models reporting low levels of mortalities, similar to those observed in the control treatment. All treatments reported low levels of mortality between 8 and 48 hours exposure and indicated that 48 hours was an appropriate duration for monitoring the sub-lethal effects of the pollutants.
