“…By contrast, the natural biodegradation processes of indigenous bacteria were believed to play a dominant role on the bioremediation. As we well known, 16 US EPA priority PAHs from oil spill may pose serious threats to coastal habitats due to more toxic effects (Pongpiachan et al, 2018). Detailed knowledge of PAHs biodegradation can provide some useful information for further understanding of their environmental fate and potential ecotoxicological effect.…”

Bioremediation, mainly by indigenous bacteria, has been regarded as an effective way to deal with the petroleum pollution after an oil spill accident. The biodegradation of crude oil by microorganisms co-incubated from sediments collected from the Penglai 19-3 oil platform, Bohai Sea, China, was examined. The relative susceptibility of the isomers of alkylnaphthalenes, alkylphenanthrenes and alkyldibenzothiophene to biodegradation was also discussed. The results showed that the relative degradation values of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) are 43.56% and 51.29% for sediments with untreated microcosms (S-BR1) and surfactant-treated microcosms (S-BR2), respectively. TPH biodegradation results showed an obvious decrease in saturates (biodegradation rate: 67.85-77.29%) and a slight decrease in aromatics (biodegradation rate: 47.13-57.21%), while no significant difference of resins and asphaltenes was detected. The biodegradation efficiency of alkylnaphthalenes, alkylphenanthrenes and alkyldibenzothiophene for S-BR1 and S-BR2 samples reaches 1.28-84.43% and 42.56-86.67%, respectively. The efficiency of crude oil degradation in sediment with surfactant-treated microcosms cultures added Tween 20, was higher than that in sediment with untreated microcosms. The biodegradation and selective depletion is not only controlled by thermodynamics but also related to the stereochemical structure of individual isomer compounds. Information on the biodegradation of oil spill residues by the bacterial community revealed in this study will be useful in developing strategies for bioremediation of crude oil dispersed in the marine ecosystem.

“…The other two comparative studies with the assistance of PCA also highlight the importance of vehicle exhausts as the most crucial source of PM 2.5 collected in ambient air of Chiang-Mai and Phuket, Thailand ( ChooChuay et al., 2020a , c ). PCA was also applied for source apportionment of PAHs in coastal soils collected around Koh Samed Island after the 2013 Rayong oil spill incidence ( Pongpiachan et al., 2018 ). Similar studies were also employed PCA for quantitative analysis of potential sources of PAHs in terrestrial soils of Antarctica, Chile and Pakistan ( Deelaman et al., 2020 ; Pongpiachan et al., 2020 ).…”

This manuscript provides some comprehensive technical insights regarding the application of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) characterized by using Gas-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. Although numerous chemical species such as water soluble ionic species (e.g. Na + , K + , Cl − , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ) and acid leachable heavy metal fractions (e.g. Fe, Cd, Al, Mo, Sb, As, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Mn) can be used to characterize tsunami deposits, the knowledge of PAH congeners as alternative chemical species for identifying tsunami backwash deposits is strictly limited. This manuscript is exclusive because it aims to find some alternative chemical proxies in order to distinguish tsunami backwash deposits from typical marine sediments. A wide range of diagnostic binary ratios of PAH congeners have been selected in order to characterize Typical Marine Sediments (TMS), Tsunami backwash deposits (TBD), Onshore Tsunami Deposits (OTD) and Coastal Zone Soils (CZS). The state of the art and future perspectives coupled with both advantages and disadvantages of above mentioned chemical tracers will be critically reviewed and further discussed.

“…The recovery internal standard mixture (d10-Fl and d12-Per) was spiked into sediment samples prior to the extraction. Fractionation was carried out by using the activated silica gel chromatography column [16][17][18][19]30]. The target PAHs were trapped into the silica gel column, then eluted by using 40/60 (volume/volume) toluene/hexane as the solvent.…”

“…Analysis of PAHs in sediment matrices requires sophisticated procedures. Commonly, extraction methods used in PAH determinations from sediment samples include Soxhlet extraction [16][17][18][19], accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) [20][21], ultrasound assisted extraction [22], and solid phase microextraction (SPME) [23]. However, these techniques have limitations related to simplicity of operation, cost, sample matrix effects, and the greater the sample preparation the lower the throughput [24].…”

Source and Distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Surface Sediment from Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand

This study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution and apportionment of potential sources of the 16 US-EPA priority PAHs in surface sediments of Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand. A total 28 of sediment samples were collected from areas with high maritime activity in Chalong Bay, subjected to conventional high recovery Soxhlet extraction, purified with SiO2 column chromatography, and quantified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Total concentration of PAHs (Σ16PAHs) ranged from 31.15 to 1696 ng g−1 dry weight, with an average of 198.2 ± 318.5 ng g−1 dry weight. Binary diagnostic ratios plots were used to distinguish between petrogenic and pyrogenic sources. Most of the PAHs in sediments originated from pyrolytic sources. PCA analysis explained 82.3 % of the variance by only 4 predominant components. The first principal component (PC1) (26.7 %) was mainly contributed to urban street runoff and municipal wastewater discharge. PC2 (25.8 %) represented vehicular combustion sources, PC3 (19.1 %) was attributed to petrogenic sources, and PC4 (10.7 %) was only associated with Naphthalene. The sources of PAHs distributed around Chalong Bay included oil spills, combustion of fossil fuels by shipping, urban street runoff, and municipal wastewater discharge. Each type of sources affected different locations along shores of Chalong Bay.
