| a pollution-monitoring pilot study involving contaminant and biomarker measurements in the seine estuary, france, using zebra mussels (dreissena polymorpha). | zebra mussel (dreissena polymorpha) is an invasive species that has proliferated in european and north american rivers and lakes during the last century. in this study, d. polymorpha has been used to provide information on contamination levels and biological effects in the seine estuary (france). the bivalves accumulated polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) to a high degree with values reaching 800 ng/g dry weight for pcbs (sum of 20 congeners), and 1,000 ... | 2006 | 16494231 |
