Abstract
The load of benz(a)pyrene in a marine coastal area in the vicinity of a town and an oil refinery has been estimated. The levels of benz(a)pyrene in refinery effluent, municipal waste water, urban run-off, rivers, and atmospheric fall-out have been determined. In the study area the major source was atmospheric fall-out. The levels of benz(a)pyrene in sediments and in mussels,Mytilus edilus have been determined. The possible removal of benz(a)pyrene from the study area has been evaluated. This includes sedimentation, degradation, and advective water transport.
