Potential Impacts of PCBs on Sediment Microbiomes in a Tropical Marine Environment

Potential Impacts of PCBs on Sediment Microbiomes in a Tropical Marine Environment

Within the tropical marine study site of Guánica Bay, Puerto Rico, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are subjected to coastal and oceanic currents coupled with marine microbial and geochemical processes. To evaluate these processes a hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate the transport of PCBs...
