Levels and Origin of PAHs in Some Big Lakes

Abstract: This study was designed to assess the contamination of a very special lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia, and two big lakes, Ladoga and Onega in the European part of Russia, by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAH compounds were analyzed by HPLC and the target PAH, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), by using the spectral-luminescence (Shpol'skii) method. Elevated levels (to 96 µg kg −1 ) of BaP in sediments of Lake Baikal reflected proximity to potential sources of emission, situated either on shore (a paper and pulp mil… Show more

“…The PAH compositions of littoral sediments reported by Batoev et al [27] and Khalikov et al [52,55,56] are similar (except for low NAP concentration) to those of LMW-rich littoral sediments obtained in the present study (Figures S7 and S8). The only observation made by other authors that is not consistent with the results of the present study is the absence of a correlation between the concentration of BaP and concentrations of fine particle fractions [26].…”

“…The total concentrations of 19 PAHs (including 16 priority ones) reported by Morozov et al [42] varied from 8 to 27 ng/L. These values are higher than those reported by Semenov et al [26,27] but lower than those reported by Gorshkov et al [40]. Considering PAHs in all three studies were measured using the same model of GC-MS, the differences in PAH concentrations obtained by the three authors may be due to different concentrations of suspended sediments at the moment of sampling or different conditions of sample storage.…”

“…Unfortunately, in the other studies concerned with identification of water pollution sources in Lake Baikal watershed, the comparison of chemical composition between the water and source emissions was not made. The high concentrations of pollutants such as PAHs [6][7][8], trace elements [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], dissolved organic carbon, inorganic nitrogen, and phosphorus [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and even 30 Si isotope [23,24] in water were used as pollution indicators. Despite the fact that the most pollutants, like PAHs, nitrogen, and sulfur oxides, etc., may come from remote sources, the industrial or municipal facility closest to water sampling point, located upwind or upstream of it, was usually assumed to be the primary contributor of pollutants to the surface water [2].…”
