  • Mussel Watchtand Chemical Contamination of the Coasts by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons*
    IAEA-SM-354/117 "MUSSEL WATCHTAND CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION OF THE COASTS BY POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS* FARRINGTON, J. W. XA9951933 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 360 Woods Hole Road - MS#31 Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543-1541 U. S. A. Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) enter the coastal marine environment from three general categories of sources; pyrogenic, petrogenic (or petroleum), and natural diagenesis. PAH from different sources appear to have differential biological availability related to how the PAH are sorbed, trapped, or chemically bound to particulate matter, including soot. Experience to date with bivalve sentinel organism, or "Mussel Watch", monitoring programs indicates that these programs can provide a reasonable general assessment of the status and trends of biologically available PAH in coastal ecosystems. As fossil fuel use increases in developing countries, it is important that programs such as the International Mussel Watch Program provide assessments of the status and trends of PAH contamination of coastal ecosystems of these countries. 1. INTRODUCTION Modern societies have deliberately and inadvertently discharged or released chemicals of environmental concern to the coastal ocean for decades. The serious nature of several of the ensuing problems identified in the 1960s and early 1970s demonstrated the need for an organized and systematic approach to assessing the status and trends of contamination of coastal and estuarine ecosystems by selected chemicals of major concern. Surveys in the 1960s and early 1970s involving sampling and analysis of various components of coastal and estuarine ecosystems led to the conclusion that much could be learned about spatial and temporal trends by sampling and analyzing carefully chosen populations of bivalves.
