Fate of Particulate Matter Associated with Produced Water Discharge by Offshore Platforms in the Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean Sea)

In the Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean Sea), during monitoring of Production Water (PW) discharged from offshore platforms, high contamination levels of metals, PAH, and aliphatic hydrocarbons are detected in the sediment close to some installations. Here, we investigate for the first time, the transpor...
