Summary

Researchers conducted target and suspect screening of organic micropollutants in Greece's Saronikos Gulf, identifying wastewater treatment plants as the primary pollution source and finding that PFAS concentrations exceeded safety thresholds in 92% of seawater samples, with pollutant distribution shaped by local circulation and precipitation patterns.

Study Type Environmental

The pollution status of Saronikos Gulf was studied via target and suspect screening, with WWTPs identified as the main sources. PFAS concentrations exceeded AA-EQS values in 92% of seawater samples. Circulation/precipitation patterns are discussed.
