Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds that have raised considerable environmental concern. The highest concentrations of PAHs in the coastal sediment samples in China was 5.8–11.0μg/g (dry weight) in the core from the Huangpu River

Shanghai. The second highest concentration of PAHs was 4.42μg/g (dry weight) in surface sediment of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong

and 5.73μg/g (dry weight) in sediment of Jiaozhou Bay

Qingdao City. The low concentrations of PAHs were always in the sediments far away from industrial zones and cities

and ranged from 0.10 to 0.30μg/g (dry weight). Several environmental parameters are considered for the identification of sources of PAHs in marine environment. High proportion of naphthalene

low molecular weight PAHs and alkylated PAHs

plus high ratio of phenanthrene to anthracene (>15) and low ratio of fluoranthene to pyrene (<1) suggested a petrogenic source. According to these parameters

the Changjiang (Yangtze) River estuary of Shanghai

Jiaozhou Bay of Qingdao City

Zhujiang (Pearl) River mouth

Jiulong River mouth and most of Hong Kong coastal waters were heavily contaminated by PAHs from petrogenic sources. However

PAHs in rural coastal areas were dominated by pyrolytic origin PAHs. This review clearly showed that oil pollution and incomplete combustion of oil

coal and biomass are the main reason for PAHs anormalies in the study areas.
