“…Ant/(Ant + Phe) ratios of >0.1 are the indicator of pyrogenic origin of PAHs, while <0.1 ratios are petrogenic origin of PAHs [51]. Meanwhile, a Fla/(Fla + Pyr) < 0.4 ratio indicates a petroleum source, a ratio between 0.4 and 0.5 indicates liquid fossil fuel combustion, and a ratio of >0.50 suggests the combustion of biomass and coal [53,54]. In addition, BaA/(BaA + Chr) ratio is considered as a specific marker for coal combustion [55,56].…”

In order to investigate the residual characteristics, sources, and ecological risk of PAHs in sediment from urban rivers, the sediments of 15 typical sites from Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake, which are typical urban rivers and lake, were collected from October 2015 to July 2016; the sources of PAHs in sediment were also identified by several methods. Results showed that ∑PAHs concentration in sediment ranged from 796.2 ng/g to 10,470 ng/g with an average of 2,713.8 ng/g. High molecular weight PAHs with 4-5 rings were most prominent in the sediment during all four seasons. Source characterization studies based on the analysis of diagnostic ratio (triangular plot method), cluster analysis, and positive factor matrix analysis suggested that the PAHs of Qinhuai River Basin were mainly from pyrogenic origin (biomass and coal combustion and vehicular emission), and the petroleum source also cannot be ignored (specially in summer). Most individual PAHs occasionally affect the aquatic organisms. The highest benzo[a]pyreneequivalent doses (BaP eq dose) appear at the sites of sewage discharge and heavy traffic. So, the PAHs pollution sources of urban water body have obvious seasonal-dependent and human activities-dependent characteristics.

“…9). This compound is a biomarker commonly found in most Chinese crude oil geologically derived from lacustrine sources (Philp and Fan, 1987 Oilfield (Pang et al, 2003) and the surface sediments in the Yellow River Estuary (Bigot et al, 1989;Wang et al, 2011). The steranes were detected in all samples analyzed and comprised mainly the 5a, 14b, 17b and minor 5a, 14a, 17a configurations, both occurring as 20S and 20R epimers (Fig.…”

“…One approach to understand sources and fate mechanisms of OM accumulated in sediments and soils is to utilize a molecular organic geochemical method, where n-alkanes, pristane (Pr), phytane (Ph), the unresolved complex mixture (UCM), alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hopane and sterane are used for the source identification of the OM (Yunker et al, 2002b;Kimbrough and Dickhut, 2006;Wang et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2009;Tolosa et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2011). These biomarkers, combined with total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), the soils can provide robust and powerful proxies for the distinguishing of the OM contributions from natural or anthropogenic sources (Wang et al, 2003;Tanner et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tTotal organic carbon, total nitrogen, d 13 C org , d 15 N, and aliphatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons of fiftyfive soil samples collected from the coastal wetlands of the Liaohe Delta were measured, in order to determine the sources and possible preservation of organic matter (OM). The d 15 N and d 13 C org values in the samples ranged from 3.0‰ to 9.4‰ and from À30.4‰ to À20.3‰, respectively, implying that the OM in the soils is predominantly derived from C 3 plant. The long-chain n-alkanes had a strong odd-over-even carbon number predominance, suggesting a significant contribution from waxes of higher plants. The ubiquitous presence of unresolved complex mixture, alkylated polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons and typical biomarkers of petroleum hydrocarbons (pristane, phytane, hopanes and steranes) indicates that there is a contribution of petroleum hydrocarbons to the organic carbon pool in the wetland soils. P. australis-vegetated wetlands have strong potentials for the preservation of organic carbon in the wetlands.
