Use of the Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) as a Bioindicator for Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Hamilton Harbour
Abstract
Abstract
Three methods for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) sampled from Hamilton Harbour were compared. Replicate freeze-dried mussel tissue samples were extracted using acid digestion, tissue homogenization (mechanical extraction) and ultra-sonication. Each extract was submitted to a cleanup procedure (alumina chro-matography and Sephadex LH20 gel …
