The resource, environment, and ecological value of drinking reservoirs have received widespread concerns due to the pollution of persistent organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Therefore, we comprehensively studied the occurrence, source, distribution and risk assessment of representative PAHs in Fengshuba Reservoir (FSBR) (large drinking reservoir, China). The total concentrations of 16 USEPA PAHs in the water phase, porewater phase, sediment phase and soil phase were in ranges of 109.72-393.19 ng/L, 5.75-35.15 μg/L, 364.4-743.71 μg/kg and 367.81-639.89 μg/kg, respectively. The naphthalene (Nap) was the dominant PAHs in the water phase, while it was Nap and phenanthrene (Phe) in porewater, sediment and soil phase. The main sources of PAHs in FSBR were biomass combustion. Redundancy analysis indicated that, the NTU, NO2 -, NH4 + , Chl-α and IC were the dominant factor influencing the PAHs distribution in water phase and the PAHs in sediment phase was affected by T and NO3 -. Pseudo-partitioning coefficients indicated that the PAHs in the porewater phase was more likely to migrate to the sediment phase. Risk assessment indicated that the PAHs both in the water and sediment phases were generally in a Lowrisk state, while the PAHs in the soil phase were in a Moderate-risk state and the Nap was in a High-risk state, and exposure to the PAHs in FSBR through drinking and skin exposure had little impact on consumers' health. In summary, Nap could be used as a key indicator to evaluate the existence and potential risk of PAHs in FSBR.

“…Different human activities such as fuel, wood and coal burning, industrial effluents discharges, oil extraction, and ship traffic [7][8][9][10][11] comprise the primary PAH sources, responsible for the input of about 200 compounds belonging to the PAH group into the environment [12]. High PAH concentrations have been detected in sediments, rivers, and fishes [3].…”

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent pollutants routinely detected in aquatic ecosystems. It is, therefore, necessary to assess the link between deleterious marine biota PAH effects, especially in commercialized and consumed animals, environmental health status, and potential human health risks originating from the consumption of contaminated seafood products. Thus, this review seeks to verify the relationships of ecotoxicological studies in determining effect and safety concentrations on animals routinely consumed by humans. Methods: A total of 52 published studies between 2011 and 2021, indexed in three databases, were selected following the PICO methodology, and information on test animals, evaluated PAH, and endpoints were extracted. Results: Benzo(a)pyrene and phenanthrene were the most investigated PAHs in terms of biomarkers and test organisms, and mussels were the most evaluated bioindicator species, with an emphasis on reproductive responses. Furthermore, despite the apparent correlation between environmental PAH dynamics and effects on aquatic biota and human health, few assessments have been performed in a multidisciplinary manner to evaluate these three variables together. Conclusions: The links between human and environmental sciences must be strengthened to enable complete and realistic toxicity assessments as despite the application of seafood assessments, especially to mussels, in bioassays, the connection between toxicological animal responses and risks associated with their consumption is still understudied.
