Distribution, sources, and risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in riparian soils along a transect of the Liuxi River, South China

Environmental Impact Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Heavy Metals in Rivers and Creeks around Gokana LGA, Rivers State

This study assessed the environmental impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in water, sediment, and biota from fifteen (15) sampling stations along the Bodo River in Gokana Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. The primary objective was to evaluate the concentration levels of PAHs a...

Environmental and Spatial Analysis of Soil Contamination by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Near Maysan Refinery Using GIS Techniques, Southern Iraq

This study aimed to determine and evaluate the distribution and concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total organic carbon (TOC), pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) in selected industrial soils from several facilities within the Maysan Refinery and in soils collected from urban areas surrounding t...

Content and potential sources of PAHS and PCBS in soils and bottom sediments of the Siberian Arctic

Assessment of environmental pollution in the Arctic is becoming increasingly important in the context of active industrial development and global climate change. In this study, soils and bottom sediments from the northern regions of Western and Central Siberia were analyzed for persistent organic pollutants including p...

POPs Contamination of Aquatic Sediments of the Cerna River Watershed, Romania—Prevalence, Pollution Sources, and Ecological Risk Assessment

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and pollution sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in sediments of the Cerna River and its main tributaries, and to assess the associated ecological risk on aquatic ecosystem. The compounds w...

Assessing coastal environmental impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Alang-Sosiya Shipbreaking Yard sediments: Source distribution and human–ecological risk assessment

Occurrence, spatial distribution, and source implications of phenolic compounds, phthalate esters, and perfluoroalkyl substances in surface seawater of Laizhou Bay, a typical fishery ecosystem in the Bohai Sea, China.

Laizhou Bay is an important spawning and nursery ground for fishery species in the Bohai Sea, yet the spatial patterns of emerging endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in its surface seawater and their connection to industrial activities in the surrounding watersheds remain unclear. In the present study, 4 phenolic co...
