“…These concentrations are close to those obtained from samples from areas less influenced by human activities. 10,11 Moreover, among sediment samples that have been collected in Japan, these concentrations are comparable to those found in deeper layers of sediment-core samples collected from the reservoir of Osaka Castle (which were deposited before 1850 CE). 15 Thus, the sediment sample could be considered to be only slightly contaminated.…”

“…7 Because the emitted PAHs are transported for long distances, PAHs are found in most environmental samples throughout the world, including those from regions that are recognized as being less affected by human activities. [8][9][10][11] It is therefore necessary to monitor the levels of emitted PAHs in environmental samples. Among the PAHs, 16 PAHs prioritized as pollutants by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are the focus of analysis and monitoring.…”

We confirmed that concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) obtained by isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) using the corresponding 13 C-labeled internal standards are reliable even after clean-up steps. Change in the ratio of phenanthrene to 13 C6-phenanthrene was less than 0.2%, although the recovery yield of 13 C6-phenanthrene decreased to 60%. Since changes in the ratios were commonly within the relative standard deviations of the concentrations (1.5 -5.4%) obtained using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in combination with pressurizedliquid extraction, concentrations obtained by IDMS with 13 C-PAHs should be reliable.

“…They are often used as chemical markers to identify potential sources of environmental pollution from crude oil, gasoline and diesel (Froehner et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2005;Savinov et al, 2003;Yunker et al, 1999). PAHs can enter into the environment from different sources, which are primarily pyrolytic or petrogenic; biogenic sources are also possible.…”

“…Fluoranthene and pyrene are also the most abundant PAH congeners in the bottom sediment all over the world, e.g. in the Baltic Sea (Pikkarainen 2004), in Hong Kong (Ke et al 2005) or in the Barents Sea, Russia (Savinov et al 2003). Fluoranthene is found in many combustible products, along with other PAHs.…”

In this study, selected biochemical markers -cytochrome P450 (CYP 450), ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione (GSH) -were measured in chub (Leuciscus cephalus L.) liver samples obtained from three locations on the Vltava river (Podolí, Podbaba and Vraňany) and from a control location nmicals commonly known as their inducers. These include polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene and octachlorostyrene measured in chub muscle and polyaromatic hydrocarbons measured in bear Vodňany. The levels of selected biomarkers should correlate with the concentration of cheottom sediments obtained from the same locations. The highest EROD activity (median 101.37 pmol·min -1 ·mg -1 protein), GST activity (median 42.82 nmol·min -1 ·mg -1 protein), and GSH concentration (median 8.01 nmol·mg -1 protein) were found in fish liver from the Podbaba location. There were no significant differences in CYP P450 level or EROD activity among the different locations. In Podbaba, GST activity (P < 0.01) and GSH concentrations (P < 0.001) were significantly higher than in the control location. The results of these analyses were correlated and a significant correlation was found between biochemical markers and their inducers. The results show that the use of biochemical markers in water quality assessment is a convenient method that can supplement classical chemical monitoring.
