Study aim: "The aim of the present study is to provide new data to help elucidating these aspects, both in term of bioaccumulation potential and biomarker responses. An integrated strategy has been adopted: the contents of trace metals, PAHs and PCBs have been analysed in sediments and in clam tissues, and various biomarkers were assessed at different levels of biological organization, from biochemical to organismal."
