摘要 | Spatial and temporal distributions of concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments and dated sediment core from Taihu Lake in eastern China were determined. The sum of concentrations of PAHs (sum of total 16 USEPA priority PAH (Sigma PAHs)) of the entire Taihu Lake ranged from 2.9x10(2) to 8.4x10(2) ng/g dry mass (dm). Concentrations of SPAHs in surface sediments near more urbanized regions of the lake shore were greater than those in areas more remote from the urban centers. Temporal trends in concentrations of SPAHs ranged from 5.1x10(2) to 1.5x10(3) ng/g dm, increasing from deeper layers to surface sediments with some fluctuations, especially in the past three decades after the inception of China's Reform and Opening Up Policy, in which China's economy and urbanization underwent rapid development. Forensic analysis of surface sediments indicates that PAHs originated primarily from combustion of grass/wood/coal except for the special function water area, which was most likely influenced by petroleum products of traveling vessels. Vertical profiles of relative concentrations of PAHs suggested that the contribution of lesser-molecular-weight PAHs was gradually decreasing, while due to the heavier consumption of petroleum products, the proportion of greater-molecular-weight PAHs was increasing. When assessed by use of the rather conservative, apparent effect threshold method, concentrations of SPAHs in sediments from most locations in Taihu Lake are predicted to pose little risk of harm to benthic invertebrates. |
