Environmental Impact Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Heavy Metals in Rivers and Creeks around Gokana LGA, Rivers State

This study assessed the environmental impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in water, sediment, and biota from fifteen (15) sampling stations along the Bodo River in Gokana Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. The primary objective was to evaluate the concentration levels of PAHs a...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of Pinghai Bay, a subtropical semi-enclosed embayment in China: Distribution, source apportionment, and ecological risk assessment.

This study investigated the occurrence, spatial distribution, source apportionment, and ecological risk of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments of Pinghai Bay, a typical subtropical semi-enclosed bay in Fujian, China, is increasingly subjected to anthropogenic pressures from intensiv...

Environmental and Spatial Analysis of Soil Contamination by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Near Maysan Refinery Using GIS Techniques, Southern Iraq

This study aimed to determine and evaluate the distribution and concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total organic carbon (TOC), pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) in selected industrial soils from several facilities within the Maysan Refinery and in soils collected from urban areas surrounding t...

Distribution, source and ecological risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cultivated land of Liuxin area, Xuzhou, China

The spatial distribution, sources and ecological risk of 16 US EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface soil from Liuxin area, Xuzhou, China was investigated in this study. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed ΣPAH concentrations ranging from 115.66 to 373.53 ng ⋅g−1 (mean: 196....

Content and potential sources of PAHS and PCBS in soils and bottom sediments of the Siberian Arctic

Assessment of environmental pollution in the Arctic is becoming increasingly important in the context of active industrial development and global climate change. In this study, soils and bottom sediments from the northern regions of Western and Central Siberia were analyzed for persistent organic pollutants including p...
