Abstract:

Data are PAH concentrations for 61 parent and homologs in samples of fish and shark, blood, liver and muscle tissue.

Purpose:

Data were collected to assess body burden concentrations of PAHs from exposure to the DWH and correlate those concentrations with other measures of health.

Data Parameters and Units:

Data are reported in ng/ml for blood and ng/g of lipid for muscle and liver.
