TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL TRENDS OF TOTAL ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS OF DIESEL RANGE AND TRACE ELEMENTS IN SEDIMENTS AND MUSSELS OF THE CORRAL BAY AREA, VALDIVIA, SOUTH CENTRAL CHILE
Sediments and mussel specimens of Mytilus chilensis were analyzed for organic pollutant fingerprints and heavy metals in the Corral Bay area of Valdivia, South Central Chile during the period 2003-2004. GC-MS analysis show hydrocarbon fingerprints corresponding mainly to mixed inputs of aliphatic hy...

Sediments and mussel specimens of Mytilus chilensis were analyzed for organic pollutant fingerprints and heavy metals in the Corral Bay area of Valdivia, South Central Chile during the period 2003-2004.

Mussel TPH fingerprints show weathered hydrocarbons resulting in a zone of increased concentration of cyclic respect to acyclic aliphatic components (UCM), indicating the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons.
