PAHs Accumulation in Various Marine Organisms by the Marine Pollution after Oil Spill Accidents
해상 유류 유출 사고 후, 유류 해양 오염에 따른 주요 해산 어.패류내 PAHs 축적
Abstract
Marine organisms such as fish (Sebastes schlegeli) and mussels were cultured in sea water tanks placed at Dukpo area which was contaminated by the two oil spill accidents. Results showed that PAHs concentrations in flesh tissue were higher than in fish fiver. This was explained by the cytochrome P45O 1A induction in fish limier after PAHs exposure. Other studies showed that higher PAHs levels were detected in mussels cultures in oil contaminated area than in control site. From these results, we concluded that Dukpo area is still polluted by oil including PAHs and it takes a long time to recover of oil contamination after the oil spill accidents.
