Chemical contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis with metals, PAHs, PCBs and organochlorine pesticides

the mytiad project focused on the assessment of chemical contamination (metals, pahs, pcbs and organochlorine pesticides) in the adriatic coastal waters by active mussel watching. its purpose was harmonising and standardising strategies and methodologies used to assess the contamination status of the adriatic sea, in the framework of the wfd, the msfd and unep/map integrated monitoring and assessment programme. data on metals pointed out some hotspots along the eastern and western adriatic sea coasts, with the highest values of total pah concentration detected in split, trieste, and taranto (ionian sea). pcb and endrin contamination was higher in the adriatic sea than in the western mediterranean sea. this is the first comprehensive overview of contamination in the adriatic sea with critical comparisons of related studies over the mediterranean sea. it provides a useful harmonised dataset to support a coordinated definition of baselines, targets and thresholds, and further management of chemical contamination.

‘我的泰亚德’项目致力于通过活贝监测技术评估亚得里亚海沿岸水域的化学污染（包括金属、多氯联苯、多环芳烃和有机氯农药）状况。该项目旨在统一和标准化用于评估亚得里亚海污染状况的策略和方法，在《水框架指令》、《海洋环境与渔业指导原则》以及联合国环境规划署/地图整合监测与评估计划框架下进行。金属污染数据揭示了亚得里亚海东西两岸的部分热点区域，其中斯普利特、的里雅斯特和塔兰托（属于爱奥尼亚海）的总多环芳烃浓度最高。亚得里亚海的PCB和艾氏剂污染程度高于地中海西部地区。这是对亚得里亚海污染状况的首次全面概述，并对地中海相关研究进行了批判性比较。它提供了一个有用的协调数据集，以支持协调确定基准值、目标和阈值，并进一步管理化学污染。
