Multivariate curve resolution of organic pollution patterns in mangrove forest sediment from Qeshm Island and Khamir Port—Persian Gulf, Iran

Abstract: Straight-chain alkanes (n-alkanes) have been proposed as biomarkers to assess petroleum pollution sources in marine environments. In this work, three sampling sites were selected along Iranian-protected mangrove forests in the Persian Gulf. Sample sites were chosen to represent different compositions and sources of n-alkanes in surface sediments (0-5 cm) from different locations in the Khamir Port, in the middle part of the Gulf, and in the Qeshm Island. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectro… Show more

“…Before the multivariate analysis, the data matrix was either autoscaled (for PCA) or undergo min–max normalization (for MCR-ALS). More details concerning the implementation of PCA and MCR could be found in [ 53 ].…”

“…Unfortunately, tourism and fishing industries affect the mangrove ecosystem adversely. Also, oil leakage is another issue that is affecting this ecosystem due to oil tanker transportation nearby, like the Hormuz strait (Dadashi et al, 2018).…”

“…This mangrove species cultivate in sediments with low-oxygen and high-salinity concentrations and are made of light gray bark and thick, glossy, bright green leaves [8,42]. This region has been impacted by anthropogenic practices of local and regional communities including leaf-cutting, fishing, boat journeys for tourism, oil leakage, and petrochemical industries [55][56][57]. Accordingly, developing efficient approaches is vital to obtain reliable information for the sustainable management of such valuable natural resources.…”
