...chemicals might also contribute to the overall PW toxicity. As a result, there may be discrepancies between measured concentrations of organic compounds and the total PW components that contribute to toxicity. In the current study, PW was collected at the “point of release” from four oil platforms on the...
...studies that could be used as a background for tool development and guidelines in the EE settlement project.
