“…These results are lower than what Olayinka et al (2019) obtained from sediment samples around Atlas Cove, Nigeria which range between 2.15—36.46 mg/kg. Assessment of ∑16PAHs in the sediment of Wei River by Pang et al (2021) was in the range of 60.50—10,241.10 ng/g while Raiz et al, 2019 reported 14.54—437.43 ng/g for PAHs sediment samples along Jhelum riverine system of lesser Himalayan region of Pakistan while a report published by Dos Santos et al (2018) of Amazon River in Brazil reported a total PAHs concentration of 22.2—158.9 μg/kg of sediment samples from the river. Asagbra et al (2015) determine the concentration of PAHs in sediment samples from the Warri River at Ubeji, Niger Delta, Nigeria with a mean concentration of 4587.70 ng/g.…”

“…For areas close to tourism ports as comparisons for this study with the previous studies, Olbia harbour (a tourist harbour located in northern Sardinia, Italy) (Luca et al, 2005), indicated that the highest concentration (252.43 ng g ) of PAHs was detected at 18-21 cm depth. These high concentrations of PAHs can be attributed to industrial activities such as tourism and household wastes that are deposited on the site and to the intermittent open burning of them (Riaz et al, 2019). The lowest -1 concentration (45.82 ng g ) of PAHs was detected at 48-51 cm depth.…”

“…Most recently, PAH levels and sources, and associated health risks, as a result of changing energy demand have been reported [23]. Moreover, in soils and sediments along Jhelum riverine system of lesser Himalayan region of Pakistan, assessment of levels and sources of PAH has been studied by Riaz et al [24].…”
