Persistent Organic Pollutants and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in River Sediments Throughout Croatia: Spatial Distribution and In Silico Toxicity Characterization
Key Points
Sediments in various regions of Croatia show significant levels of persistent organic pollutants.
About 70% of samples contained polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in harmful concentrations.
Assessment utilized in silico toxicity characterization to evaluate environmental impact.
Findings highlight the need for monitoring and management of waterway pollution in Croatia.
