Abstract

The study was designed to determine potential environmental impacts to aquatic biota that may be linked to heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) resulting from effluents of the oil refinery and industrial activities in the estuarine system, inner port and Bay of Salina Cruz, Mexico. The data indicate that the studied area is chronically polluted.
