The paper presents data on the level of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) and some other polycyclic arenes in alga and phanerogam specimens from different gulfs of the Baltic Sea. Algae were shown to absorb BP from sea water. The mean concentration of BP in sea water was under 0.004 microgram/1, while in algae it ranged 0.1-21.2 micrograms/kg dry weight. Algae accumulate BP to a higher degree than phanerogams. The highest concentrations of BP were found in algae Enteromorpha while the lowest ones in Furcellaria. In annual green algae, BP level was higher in autumn, i. e. at the end of vegetation period, than in spring. Brown algae Fucus vesiculosus is recommended for monitoring polycyclic arene pollution in the area from Vormsi Island to Käsmu and green algae Cladophora or Enteromorpha in the eastern part of the Finnish Gulf.
该论文展示了来自波罗的海不同海湾的藻类和显花植物标本中苯并(a)芘（BP）及其他一些多环芳烃的含量数据。研究表明，藻类会从海水中吸收BP。海水中BP的平均浓度低于0.004微克/升，而藻类中BP的浓度范围为0.1 - 21.2微克/千克干重。藻类比显花植物积累BP的程度更高。在藻类浒苔中发现BP的浓度最高，而在角叉菜中浓度最低。在一年生绿藻中，秋季（即生长季末期）的BP含量高于春季。建议用褐藻囊藻监测从沃尔姆斯岛到卡斯穆地区的多环芳烃污染，用绿藻刚毛藻或浒苔监测芬兰湾东部的污染情况。
