“…Our finding of correlations in peak boating activity with increased PAH concentrations is similar to that reported by Mastran et al (1994) from an enclosed reservoirs with heavy recreational boating. In a drinking water reservoir near Washington, D.C., surface PAH levels as high as 19 µg/L were measured in June at the height of the boating use in the reservoir.…”

“…PAH concentrations as high as 4 µg/L were detected in the water column. No PAHs were detected in October when boating activity was low (Mastran et al 1994). In Lake Tahoe, concentrations of PAHs sampled by membrane devices were highest in areas where motorized boating was highest (Lico 2004), but concentrations were not reduced following a ban on carbureted two-stroke engines.…”

“…These consequences include, but are not limited to, erosion (Nanson et al, 1994) and turbidity from wakes (Moss, 1977;Yousef et al, 1980), mixing or suspension/mobilization of nutrients (Moss, 1977;Yousef et al, 1980), disturbance (from noise, presence of boat, or wake) or injury of aquatic organisms including plants (e.g. scarring and uprooting of macrophytes; Zieman, 1976;Vermaat and de Bruyne, 1993;Asplund and Cook, 1997;Bell et al, 2001), birds (Kahl, 1991;Mikola et al, 1994;Burger, 1998), marine mammals (Richardson et al, 1995;Nowacek et al, 2004;Wartzok et al, 2004;Rommel et al, 2007), and fish (Lagler et al, 1950;Mueller, 1980;Boussard, 1981;Wolter and Arlinghaus, 2003), release of hydrocarbons and other substances from combustion and fuel spills (Jackivicz and Kuzminski, 1973;Schenk et al, 1975;Mastran et al, 1994;Kempinger et al, 1998), as well as the creation of noise pollution (Mosisch and Arthington, 1998). It is also important to note that nonmotorized boating disturbances (e.g.…”

ABSTRACT1. Recreational boating continues to grow in popularity, yet little is known about the effects of noise disturbance from boating on fish. Therefore, this study evaluated the organism-level cardiovascular disturbance associated with different recreational boating activities using largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) as a model.2. Cardiac output and its components (heart rate and stroke volume) were monitored in real time, allowing for the determination of the magnitude of disturbance and the time required for recovery. Fish responses to three noise disturbances (canoe paddling, trolling motor, and combustion engine (9.9 hp)) for 60 s were contrasted using a Latin squares design.3. Exposure to each of the treatments resulted in an increase in cardiac output in all fish, associated with a dramatic increase in heart rate and a slight decrease in stroke volume. The level of change in cardiac output and its components increased in magnitude from the canoe treatment to the trolling motor treatment with the most extreme response being to that of the combustion engine treatment. Furthermore, time required for cardiovascular variables to recover varied across treatments with shortest periods for the canoe paddling disturbance ($15 min), the longest periods for the combustion engine ($40 min), and intermediate recovery periods for the trolling motor ($25 min).4. Collectively, these results demonstrate that fish experienced sublethal physiological disturbances in response to the noise propagated from recreational boating activities. This work contributes to a growing body of research that has revealed that boating activities can have a number of ecological and environmental consequences such that their use may not be compatible with aquatic protected areas. Future research should evaluate how freeswimming fish in the wild respond to such stressors relative to frequency of exposure and proximity to noise as most research to date has occurred in the laboratory.

“…Identification and quantification of complex mixtures of PAHs need separation techniques such as HPLC with UV-visible, fluorimetric or amperometric detection or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry or to a flame ionisation detector [19,20,21,22,23] and most of them include a preconcentration step. These steps are time-consuming and require great deal of effort, thus making the analysis unsuitable for routine control analysis.…”

This paper presents the development of two optosensors for the determination of four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, fluoranthene and benzo[b]fluoranthene) using a photomultiplier device and an intensified coupled charge device (ICCD) as optical transducers, respectively. These optosensors are based on the on-line immobilization of the analytes onto a non-ionic resin solid support (Amberlite XAD-4) in a continuous flow system, followed by the measurement of their native fluorescence. The determinations were performed using 15 mM H(2)PO(4)(-)/HPO(4)(2-) buffer solution at pH 7 and 25% 1,4-dioxane. Detection limits were 6.4 and 9.3 for ANT, 3.3 and 2.5 for BbF, 1.4 and 13.2 for FLT, and 1.7 and 7.8 for BaP using optosensor 1 or 2, respectively. Relative standard deviations were 7.9 and 6.7 for ANT at 50 ng mL(-1), 3.5 and 7.4 for BbF at 60 ng mL(-1), 3.6 and 8.9 for FLT at 50 ng mL(-1), and 6.7 and 11.6 for BaP at 50 ng mL(-1) using optosensor 1 or 2, respectively. Finally, a critical comparison between the two configurations based on different transducers (photomultiplier and ICCD) for resolving and simultaneously determining mixtures of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under study in water samples (tap and mineral waters) were carried out.
