Abstract:Presence of anthracene (ANT) in coastal waters is increasingly being reported and has a profound impact on the marine biota. However, numerical guideline values and toxicity data on marine organisms are lacking. Therefore, seawater quality criteria (SWQC) are developed for ANT based on toxicity data on native species for the first time. Acute and chronic toxicity values were derived on diatoms (Thalassiosira subtilis and Endomoneis paludosa), copepods (Oithona similis and Tisbe furcata), and shrimp (Litopenaeu… Show more
