Abstract

Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in two sediment cores collected form Poyang lake and Longgan lake. Sixteen US-EPA (US-Environmental Protection Agency) priority PAHs analyzed were in the range of 70-6855 ng/g from 1930 to 2011 and 60-231744 ng/g from 1901 to 2011 in Cores PY and LG, respectively. The concentrations and patterns of PAH distribution changing over this period may be related to local economic development. Isomeric ratios reveal that pyrolytic sources were the predominant contributions in both sediment cores; while various cores in mid-depth part were derived mainly from the petrogenic sources. The period from 1943 to 1976 in Core PY and from 1932 to 1982 in Core LG, may be a transition period, along with a mixture of biomass and petroleum combustion sources. According to the toxicological risk evolutions, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (DahA), and benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) were the dominant toxic compositions and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) which contributed the maximum carcinogenic exposure equivalent was the most hazardous in both two core sediments. The toxic assessment suggested that the PAHs in soils were at low potential of ecotoxicological contamination level.
