Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Phthalate Esters (PAEs) in the Farmed Fishes from Khanh Hoa, Viet Nam: Level and Health Risk Assessment

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to potentially impact both marine organisms and human health through the consumption of fish and seafood. In this study, the concentrations of 12 priority PAHs and 6 PAEs were analyzed in the tissues of 76 samples of five farmed fish species, including Litopenaeus vannamei (crustacean), Babylonia areolata, Marcia hiantina (mollusk), Trachinotus blochii, and Epinephelus lanceolatus (fish), collected from four...
