Active and passive biomonitoring of trace elements, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls in small Mediterranean harbours

“…Harbours areas are receiving inputs of contaminants from the coast and are particularly subjected to contaminant accumulation due to reduced water exchange and low tidal currents (Merhaby et al 2019), therefore representing hotspots for pollution (Lichtfouse et al 2012;Paladino et al 2017) and potential sources to the open ocean. These coastal ecosystems in many regions are exposed to complex mixtures of contaminants such as trace elements (TEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).…”
