Marine protected areas in Latin America and Caribbean threatened by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

TL;DR: A literature-based analysis investigating occurrence and the possible consequences of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine protected areas (MPAs) of Latin America and Caribbean found petrogenic and pyrolytic processes as PAH predominant sources, and were mainly attributed to the proximity to ports, industries and urban areas.
