Study aim: "Therefore, the main objectives of the present study were to: 1.) Identify and quantify the various individual PAHs present in the shrimp samples with the view of determining the extent of contamination of the river; 2.) Probe into factors that influence the accumulation of PAHs in the shrimp samples, 3.) Determine biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) in order to assess the bioavailability of these compounds in the study area, 4.) Estimate shrimp consumption rate for the region and 5.) Carry out risk assessment related to the consumption of shrimps."
