We determined the bioavailability to sediment dwelling marine worms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with offshore sediments from 3 spill path and 3 non-spill path areas of PWS 12 years after the spill.
As part of a long-term study of the fate and effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, intertidal mussel samples were collected from spill zone and non-spill zone locations in Prince William Sound in 1999 and 2000.
An essential part of any oil spill injury assessment is the comprehensive definition of baseline conditions, defined as the conditions that would have prevailed had the spill not occurred.
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential for toxic (rather than physical) injury to wildlife species that may have been exposed to WEVC, either through external contact or through dietary uptake.
