Abstract
Concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in cyclo-hexane and iso-octane-benzene extracts of soft tissues of Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia) by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were also determined in cyclohexane extract of bottom sediment from which molluscs were sampled.
