PAHs, PCBs, PBDEs, and OCPs trapped and remobilized in the Lake of Cavazzo (NE Italy) sediments: Temporal trends, quality, and sources in an area prone to anthropogenic and natural stressors

Dataset of analyzes performed to determine the level and timing of selected organic pollutants' inputs in sediments of the Lake of Cavazzo (Italy)

“…The resulting chronological benchmarks for each core are reported on the far right side of the figure, as presented in Pizzini et al. [1] . Varve count and relative formation years are provided for core CAV-06.…”

“… [2] are summarized on the right side and are accompanied by the chronological benchmarks identified for each core by Pizzini et al. [1] . The red dotted lines identify the boundaries of the sandy layer observed in both cores at different depths.…”

“… The outcomes of further researches on longer sedimentary records and focused on the definition of wider regional sediment and water inputs could help verify the effective impact of anthropogenic stressors around the lake. Additional human actions over the area of the Lake of Cavazzo must be carefully pre-evaluated in view of this dataset and evidences from literature [1] , [2] , [3] . The knowledge acquired through the study of lacustrine sedimentary records might be used to prevent future ecological crises triggered by (natural or anthropogenic) sediment remobilization.…”
