- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in seafood from the Gulf of Alaska, following the Prudo Bay crude oil spill in 1989. It says that data for each collected sample includes date caught, specific location of the catch, and environmental conditions. Results show that exposure to crude oil was not attributable to contamination or that contaminants were rapidly metabolized in the edible tissue.
