Abstract-This study is to determine the concentrations of sixteen poly aromatic hydrocarbons in eighteen pooled samples of fish, shrimp, crab and bivalve from markets of Hormozgan province, Iran. The poly aromatic hydrocarbon levels varied from 16 ± 8.4 to 28.18 ± 3.74 ng/g wet weight. The investigated samples were classified as minimally contaminated. Distribution patterns showed that PAHs with 4, 5 and 6 rings dominated, confirming the pyrogenic source of detected PAHs. Fish contributed more than other biota groups in transforming of PAHs to Hormozgan Province people. The average of B (a) P eq) values for the studied biota was 2.71 ± 2.28 ng/g that was greater than calculated local screen value. This finding was implemented in poor quality of studied biota and necessity for risk management.Index Terms-Hormozgan Province, PAH, risk assessment, seafood.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were measured in plastic resin pellets collected from 65 beaches across 27 countries worldwide. They were detected at 49 locations at concentrations of the sum of 49 congeners of up to 46 ng / g-pellet and a median of 2 ng/g-pellet. These values are one to two orders of magnitude lower than those of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (median, 51 ng / g-pellet). This difference can be attributed to lower production of the Penta-BDE technical mixture, which is Environmental Monitoring & Contaminants Research Japan Society for Environmental Chemistry This article is licensed under a Creative Commons [Attribution 4.0 International] license.
