In the present study, the distribution of PAHs was determined in the green mussels ( Perna viridis ) from Cangio area (Hochiminh city). Global comparison showed a lower PAHs accumulated in the green mussels, which ranged between 2.97 to 15.79 ng/g wet weight (ww). However, the presence of carcinogenic isomer (benzo[ a ]pyrene) (up to 0.15 ng/g ww) emphasizes a further monitoring program to ensure the food quality and community health.
