The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted sea areas in the world due to the northerly geographic location, natural hydrographic properties, large catchment area and the semi-enclosed character of the brackish inland sea. Also, the cancer-causing PAHs are difficult to degrade and can spread widely in the environment before breaking down.
