The spatial and temporal distribution of aliphatic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) sulfur/oxygen derivatives in sediments from the NW Mediterranean basin were investigated. Along Continental Shelf slope, an unresolved complex mixture (UCM) alkylated PAHs, indicative petrogenic inputs, predominant. Long-chain n-alkanes derived terrestrial plant waxes (n-C27, n-C29, n-C31) parent which are typical high-temperature combustion processes, evenly distributed whole largely prevailing...
ABSTRACT The bacterial communities in two different shoreline matrices, rocks and sand, from the Costa da Morte, northwestern Spain, were investigated 12 months after being affected by Prestige oil spill. Culture-based culture-independent approaches used to compare diversity present these environments with that at a nonoiled site. A long-term effect of fuel on microbial oiled sand rock was suggested higher proportion alkane polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degraders differences denaturing...

Abstract Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, mono- (MBT) dibutyltin (DBT) have been determined in the dissolved particulate phases of seawater, sediments, biota collected some representative open enclosed coastal areas western Mediterranean Sea. The highest levels were found sediments seawater dry docks marinas, closely related with boating activity clearly decreasing according to distance from point sources. Triphenyl- (TPhT) diphenyltin (DPhT) also identified for first time...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) (21 surface and 6 vertical profiles) dissolved phase (DP) (7 sampling sites) of western Mediterranean seawater. Terrigenous inputs recognized by co-occurrence perylene trimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochrysenes (SPM DP) collected at major river plumes. The PAH patterns SPM (>0.7 μm) DP (<0.7 phases dominated three-ring aromatics (i.e., phenanthrene, dibenzothiophene, their alkylated derivatives),...
Abstract Unusually high levels of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were detected in the air and sera volunteers a village located vicinity an organochlorinated‐compounds factory (Flix, Catalonia, Spain). A significant increase for specific causes death was obtained only neoplasms unknown origin. However, excess incident cases observed thyroid neoplasms, soft‐tissue sarcoma brain men. These descriptive findings are agreement with previously reported associations between human exposure to...
