1. Hydrocarbon contamination in coastal marine ecosystems
1.1 Sources, nature and impact of hydrocarbons in the marine environment
Coastal marine ecosystems are chronically contaminated by anthropogenic hydrocarbons (HC). The average low estimate of annual oceanic inputs is around 1,300,000 tonnes. , making HC one of the main types of contaminant in the marine environment. The main chronic sources of anthropogenic HC are shipping, petroleum product production and transport operations and, particularly in highly urbanized and industrialized coastal areas,...
