“…a petroleum reservoir or from hydrocoarbon source rocks. Perylene levels increasing in the depth together with those of alkylated PAH (at open-sea locations but not at fjord locations) may then be hypothetically explained by increased microbial activity due to hydrocarbon fluids (Silliman et al, 2001;Hovland and Judd, 1988).…”

“…Thus, it is not surprising that perylene can be found in most sediments around the world, especially in freshwater lake and nearshore sediments (Ishiwatari and Hanya, 1975;Gschwend et al, 1983;Venkatesan, 1988;Soma et al, 1996;Jiang et al, 2000;Silliman et al, 2001). Occasional high amounts of perylene in sediments might also be attributed to the presence of fossilized gymnosperms that had been decomposed by fungi, since high amounts of perylene have been found in such fossils (Bechtel et al, 2007;Jiang and Liu, 2008).…”

“…Perylene (C 20 H 12 ) is commonly found with other PAHs (Ishiwatari and Hanya, 1975;Gschwend et al, 1983;Venkatesan, 1988;Soma et al, 1996;Jiang et al, 2000;Silliman et al, 2001) in the natural environment, but its vertical distribution in sediment cores differs from those of other PAHs that originate from combustion (Venkatesan, 1988;Jiang et al, 2000;Silliman et al, 2001). Although the source and mechanism of formation of perylene are not clearly understood, many studies suggest that it has an origin other than combustion, such as in terrestrial or other biota, and that it arises from precursor components under anaerobic conditions (Venkatesan, 1988;Silliman et al, 2001).…”

“…Ishiwatari and Hanya (1975) reported high amounts of perylene (0.86 µg g -1 on average) and a low organic carbon content (10 mg g -1 on average) throughout a 200-m core collected from Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa sediments typically contain abundant perylene (Ishiwatari et al, 1980;Gschwend et al, 1983;Venkatesan, 1988;Soma et al, 1996;Jiang et al, 2000;Silliman et al, 2001), and thus its sediment should be suitable for elucidating the origin of the perylene.…”

Suspended sediment and organic contaminants were measured during a period of 2 years in the San Lorenzo River, central California, which discharges into the Pacific Ocean within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, in an effort to quantify the potential environmental effects of storm events from a steep, mountainous coastal urban watershed. Most suspended sediment transport occurred during flooding caused by winter storms; 56% of the total sediment load for the 2-year study was transported by the river during one storm event in January 2010. Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can exceed regulatory criteria during high-flow events in the San Lorenzo River, and total annual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon load was on the order of 10 kg in water year 2010. These results highlight the importance of episodic sediment and contaminant transport in steep, mountainous coastal watersheds and emphasize the importance of understanding physical processes and quantifying chemical constituents in discharge from coastal watersheds on event-scale terms.
