Abstract
Data on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) measured in surface sediment and cores in the New York/New Jersey Harbour under the Contamination Assessment and Reduction Project (CARP) was examined via Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), which revealed six sources. Two represented the higher and lower molecular weight (MW) fractions of coal tar and/or creosote (pyrogenic) sources and explained 49% of PAH mass in the sediment samples. Two sources were related to uncombusted petroleum (petrogenic) sources, such as heavy fuel oil and crude oil, and explained 30% of PAH mass. The final two sources were related to combustion (pyrogenic) sources such as gasoline‐ and diesel‐fuelled vehicles and explained 21% of the PAH mass. Sediment cores revealed that Σ22PAH increased from the pre‐industrial period until about 1980 and then decreased because of efforts to control water pollution via mechanisms such as the Clean Water Act.
期刊介绍：
Water and Environment Journal is an internationally recognised peer reviewed Journal for the dissemination of innovations and solutions focussed on enhancing water management best practice. Water and Environment Journal is available to over 12,000 institutions with a further 7,000 copies physically distributed to the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) membership, comprised of environment sector professionals based across the value chain (utilities, consultancy, technology suppliers, regulators, government and NGOs). As such, the journal provides a conduit between academics and practitioners. We therefore particularly encourage contributions focussed at the interface between academia and industry, which deliver industrially impactful applied research underpinned by scientific evidence. We are keen to attract papers on a broad range of subjects including:
-Water and wastewater treatment for agricultural, municipal and industrial applications
-Sludge treatment including processing, storage and management
-Water recycling
-Urban and stormwater management
-Integrated water management strategies
-Water infrastructure and distribution
-Climate change mitigation including management of impacts on agriculture, urban areas and infrastructure
