“…Freshwater wetlands are vulnerable to diverse PAH origins that highlight complex emission sources impacting these ecosystems. Constructed and urban wetlands are vital for water treatment, but they face a threat from the continuous discharge of effluents containing PAHs [143,149,150]. PAH assessments in constructed wetlands are focused on the study of pollutant bioremediation [151,152].…”

This review paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on the contamination of water systems by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs, organic contaminants characterized by two or more fused aromatic rings, are notably problematic due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and significant health risks. The review commences with an examination of various sources of PAHs in aquatic environments, encompassing both anthropogenic activities, such as industrial discharges, urban runoff, and oil spills, and natural phenomena including volcanic eruptions and wildfires. Subsequently, the discussion shifts to the distribution patterns of PAHs within different aquatic ecosystems, with an analysis of factors that influence their transport. Considerable focus is placed on the entry mechanisms of PAHs into water systems and their interactions with diverse environmental matrices. Additionally, the ecotoxicological effects of PAHs on aquatic life are scrutinized, with particular emphasis on molecular, individual, and ecosystemic impacts. This includes an exploration of PAH bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms and their potential mutagenic and carcinogenic consequences. The review further addresses the challenges associated with detecting and quantifying PAHs in aquatic settings, reflecting on the advancements in analytical methodologies and the complexities introduced by their varied physicochemical properties. The paper concludes with a summary of existing regulatory frameworks and guidelines governing PAH contamination in water systems, underscoring the imperative for global collaboration in the monitoring and management of PAH pollution.

“…Musk compounds and PAHs have been extensively measured in domestic wastewater in various studies, such as our previous measurements at the inlet of a wastewater treatment plant for the area including this watershed. 33,34 The concentrations of each PAH species were in the order of tens to thousands of ng L −1 , [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] whereas those of the musk compounds were in the order of several thousands to tens of thousands of ng L −1 . 43 Our results for domestic wastewater were comparable to these values.…”

“…166 However, even at a lower concentration of these PAHs (B200 ng L À1 ) with continuous exposure for long time could cause a detrimental effect to human health, including various cancers such as lung, stomach, skin, chest, kidney, pancreas, esophagus, bladder, prostate, and larynx. [167][168][169] Therefore, the development of appropriate treatment processes for the removal of these pollutants from the environment are of serious concern.…”
