OSTI ID:5853264

The bibliography contains citations concerning the detection and monitoring of dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatics as pollutants in the ocean. The citations examine the development of analytical methods for determining bioaccumulation factors for these substances and for measuring their concentrations in seawater and marine sediments. Factors which influence the degree of pollution of marine ecosystems, rates at which pollution declines, and the use of existing contamination levels to predict the severity of future pollution by organic substances are discussed. (Contains a minimum of 73 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)
