Industrial polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions embodied in domestic trade in China in 2012

Source-specific ecological and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the adjacent coastal area of the Yellow River Estuary, China

“…23 Moreover, Shandong Province, the location of the YRE, is recognized as one of the regions with the highest emissions of PAH pollution in China. 24 This study focused on the adjacent coastal area of the YRE and collected surface seawater, surface sediment, and clams ( Ruditapes philippinarum and Mactra veneriformis ) at four sites in May, August, and October 2021. The research encompassed biomonitoring, risk assessment, source apportionment, and source-specific risk of PAH pollution to evaluate the contributions of different PAH sources to ecological and health risks.…”
