AB  - Semivolatile and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) undergo atmospheric 
      transport before being deposited to the oceans, where they partition to 
      phytoplankton organic matter. The goal of this study was to determine the 
      toxicity of naturally occurring complex mixtures of organic pollutants to 
      temperate and polar phytoplankton communities from the Mediterranean Sea, the 
      North East (NE) Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. The cell abundance of the 
      different phytoplankton groups, chlorophyll a concentrations, viability of the 
      cells, and growth and decay constants were monitored in response to addition of a 
      range of concentrations of mixtures of organic pollutants obtained from seawater 
      extracts. Almost all of the phytoplankton groups were significantly affected by 
      the complex mixtures of non-polar and polar organic pollutants, with toxicity 
      being greater for these mixtures than for single POPs or simple POP mixtures. 
      Cocktails' toxicity arose at concentrations as low as tenfold the field oceanic 
      levels, probably due to a higher chemical activity of the mixture than of simple 
      POPs mixtures. Overall, smaller cells were the most affected, although 
      Mediterranean picophytoplankton was significantly more tolerant to non-polar POPs 
      than picophytoplankton from the Atlantic Ocean or the Bellingshausen Sea 
      microphytoplankton.
