Personal Care Products In Wild Mussels From Portuguese Coastal Waters
Personal Care Products, namely, seven musk fragrances and five UV-filters were analysed in mussel specimens (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mytilus edulis) from the entire Portuguese coastline.
A correlation was established between population density and highly industrialized locations with higher levels of musks and UV-filters. Furthermore, lower levels of PCPs were found in beaches located in protected areas.
