The Mytilos project was carried during the last 3 years (2004-2006) in order to evaluate the level of chemical contamination along the coasts of the western basin of the Mediterranean Sea. Active mussel watch consisted of caged (12 weeks) Mytilus galloprovincialis at 123 stations along the Mediterranean coasts of Spain, France, Italy, North Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Results indicated total PAHs levels in the range 22-106 μg/kg dry weight. All large towns or industrial areas from all countries of the basin were affected. Analysis of the origin of contamination demonstrated mainly a pyrolytic origin except in some areas such as Maddalena, Napoli, Alger, and Cornigliano (Genova). Statistical analysis of the PAHs accumulation data enabled the characterisation and ranking of each coastal area. The overall results give scientific and technical basis for large-scale monitoring of the PAH contamination in the entire western Mediterranean basin.
米蒂洛丝项目在过去的 3 年（2004-2006 年）中进行，目的是评估地中海西部盆地沿岸的化学污染水平。活性贻贝监测由在西班牙、法国、意大利、北突尼斯、阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥的地中海沿岸的 123 个站点的笼养贻贝（12 周）组成。结果表明总多环芳烃水平在 22-106μg/kg 干重范围内。所有盆地国家的大城市或工业区都受到了影响。污染来源分析表明，除了一些地区（如 Maddalena、Napoli、Alger 和 Cornigliano（Genova））外，主要是热解来源。多环芳烃积累数据的统计分析使每个沿海地区的特征和排序成为可能。总体结果为整个地中海西部盆地范围内的多环芳烃污染的大规模监测提供了科学和技术基础。
