Hydrocarbons (PAH) - Benzo(a)pyrene (measurements percentages)
This API, published by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) and part of the EMODnet shared infrastructure, provides a WMS map layer showing measurement percentages of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon Benzo(a)pyrene in marine organisms. It covers Greek national waters and offers geospatial access to monitoring data useful for assessing marine pollution levels and contaminant concentrations in biota. The service is accessible without authentication.Hydrocarbons (PAH) - Benzo(a)pyrene (measurements percentages)
