摘要
Distribution of the sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) indicated from USEPA as priority pollutants was studied in surface sediments of two coastal areas of the Adriatic Sea. PAHs were recovered from the sediments by solvent extraction and then analyzed by means of gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Total concentrations of the analytes in the range 24.1-501.1 ng/g were detected. The observed distribution has been discussed taking into account different aspects, such as the fluvial inputs and the grain size of the sediments. By using a molecular marker approach and characteristic compositional patterns it was possible to ascribe to combustion processes the main source of PAHs. Furthermore a good correlation between benzo[a]pyrene and the total concentration of PAHs (r(-) 0.953) has been pointed out. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
