“…PAH ratios were widely used to predict PAH sources (Yunker et al 2002;Ren et al 2006;Luo et al 2008;Li et al 2008a, b;Kose et al 2008;Xiang et al 2010). Some PAH pair ratios, such as Fluo/(Flu + Pyr), BaA/ (BaA + Chry), and InP/(InP + BgP), had been used as distinct chemical tracers to infer the possible sources (Yunker et al 2002;Chen et al 2005;Vinñas et al 2010;Wang et al 2010).…”

“…PAHs in the environment are largely products of the incomplete combustion of petroleum, oil, coal, and wood (Edwards 1983). Sources in the urban environment include industrial emissions and wastes (Marvin et al 2000), power plants, wood and coal, home heating with fuel oil (Sims and Overcash 1983;Ansari et al 2010), vehicles (Takada et al 1990;Rogge et al 1993;Marr et al 1999;Kose et al 2008), mineral/crude oil extraction and petroleum refining processes (Yassaa and Cecinato 2005), as well as pavement sealants, also known as sealcoat (Mahler et al 2005;Peter et al 2009). Recognition of these anthropogenic sources is very important for improving city management.…”

Street dusts collected from 20 locations in the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan) region, Hunan, China, in May to July 2006, were investigated for sources of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The individual PAH concentrations were in the range of 10-4316 ng g(-1), and ∑PAHs(16) levels were in the range of 3,515-24,488 ng g(-1), with a mean of 8,760 ng g(-1). The high-molecular-weight PAHs (four to six rings), ranging from 47.51 to 82.11 %, with a mean of 74.79 %, were the dominant PAH compounds in almost all of the dusts. The isomer ratios suggested a rather uniform mixture of coal combustion and petroleum PAH sources. Factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis indicate that the main sources of the 16 PAHs were coal combustion/vehicle exhaust, coking/petroleum, and plant combustion, with contribution rates of 50.9, 35.01, and 14.08, respectively. The spatial distributions of PAH concentrations were significantly related to the distribution of industries, traffic circulation, and farmland in this region.

“…Of the numerous environmental pollutants, PAHs are among the most toxic and highly persistent [8], due to their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties [9][10][11], and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA 1993 [12]) has identified 16 [13][14][15]. The existence of these compounds in the environment can represent a serious risk due to their assimilation by living organisms.…”

The mesoporous materials MCM-41 and the functionalized inorganic-organic material p-aminobenzoic acid-MCM-41 (PABA-MCM-41) were used as adsorbents to remove the PAHs benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[b]fluoranthene from aqueous media. Both MCM-41 and PABA-MCM-41 exhibited the hexagonal mesostructures typical of the M41S family, as confirmed by SAXS, with type IV isotherms and type H1 hysteresis. The materials showed uniform mesopore size distributions, high surface areas, and thermal stability. Adsorption tests showed that for both mesoporous materials, the quantity adsorbed (q e ) increased for higher initial PAH concentrations, and adsorption equilibrium was reached in around 90 min. The experimental kinetic data were fitted using the pseudosecond-order model, and the adsorption process could be described by the Langmuir isotherm. At higher temperatures, there were increases in the initial rates of adsorption and the kinetic constants for adsorption of the PAHs by PABA-MCM-41. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the process was spontaneous, endothermic, and with a tendency toward disorder of the system at the adsorbent/adsorbate interface. The functionalization of MCM-41 increased the efficiency of adsorption of the PAHs by 44.5 and 32.0 % for benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[b]fluoranthene, respectively.

Abstract. In this study, we attempted to use PAHs as a chemical proxy to trace the transport of land-derived materials caused by the tsunami backwash to better understand how it may have affected the distribution of sedimentary deposition throughout the seabed of Khao Lak coastal areas. By analyzing the compositions of sedimentary PAHs in combination with application of the multivariate descriptive statistical techniques, PAHs were proven to be a promising chemical proxy to indicate the tsunami backwash in the study area. Their spatial distribution could indicate that the tsunami backwash plays an important role in transporting anthropogenic PAHs to the nearby coastal area as far as approximately 25 km from the shoreline. In addition, the results from diagnostic PAH isomer ratios suggested that road paving asphalt, originated from heavy erosion by the tsunami wave in front of Pakarang Cape, was among the identified sources of PAHs. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) results provided 2 estimated land-derived sources of PAHs, which were the road dust and oil burning sources. These estimated signature sources clearly support our hypothesis that PAHs were transported from the potential sources on land and deposited into the near-shore seabed during tsunami backwash.
