“…For Fluo/(Flu + Pyr), ratios <0.4, 0.4-0.5, and >0.5 suggest petroleum origins, petroleum combustion, and combustion origins of coal, grasses, and wood, respectively. For InP/(InP + BgP), ratios <0.2, 0.2-0.5, and >0.5 indicated petroleum, petroleum combustion, and combustion origins of coal, grasses, and wood, respectively (Yunker et al 2002;Chen et al 2005;Vinñas et al 2010). For BaA/(BaA + Chry), ratios <0.2, 0.2-0.35, and 0.35 implied petroleum origins, petroleum combustion (mixed sources), and combustion origins of coal, grasses, and wood (Yunker et al 2002;Vinñas et al 2010), respectively.…”

“…Some PAH pair ratios, such as Fluo/(Flu + Pyr), BaA/ (BaA + Chry), and InP/(InP + BgP), had been used as distinct chemical tracers to infer the possible sources (Yunker et al 2002;Chen et al 2005;Vinñas et al 2010;Wang et al 2010).

Street dusts collected from 20 locations in the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan) region, Hunan, China, in May to July 2006, were investigated for sources of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The individual PAH concentrations were in the range of 10-4316 ng g(-1), and ∑PAHs(16) levels were in the range of 3,515-24,488 ng g(-1), with a mean of 8,760 ng g(-1). The high-molecular-weight PAHs (four to six rings), ranging from 47.51 to 82.11 %, with a mean of 74.79 %, were the dominant PAH compounds in almost all of the dusts. The isomer ratios suggested a rather uniform mixture of coal combustion and petroleum PAH sources. Factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis indicate that the main sources of the 16 PAHs were coal combustion/vehicle exhaust, coking/petroleum, and plant combustion, with contribution rates of 50.9, 35.01, and 14.08, respectively. The spatial distributions of PAH concentrations were significantly related to the distribution of industries, traffic circulation, and farmland in this region.

“…This approach can also provide a useful way to elucidate the relationship between catchment economic development and pollution [13]. Even though PAHs are generated by both natural and anthropogenic process [14], most PAHs are associated with industrial and urban development [15,16]. Thus, PAHs in the lake sediments can be used as an effective proxy to trace the impact of socio-economic changes in catchment [17][18][19].…”

During/after the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill, cleanup workers, fisherpersons, SCUBA divers, and coastal residents were exposed to crude oil and dispersants. These people experienced acute physiological and behavioral symptoms and consulted a physician. They were diagnosed with petroleum hydrocarbon poisoning and had blood analyses analyzed for volatile organic compounds; samples were drawn 5-19 months after the spill had been capped. We examined the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the blood. The aromatic compounds m,p-xylene, toluene, ethylbenzene, benzene, o-xylene, and styrene, and the alkanes hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2-methylpentane, and iso-octane were detected. Concentrations of the first four aromatics were not significantly different from US National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey/US National Institute of Standards and Technology 95th percentiles, indicating high concentrations of contaminants. The other two aromatics and the alkanes yielded equivocal results or significantly low concentrations. The data suggest that single-ring aromatic compounds are more persistent in the blood than alkanes and may be responsible for the observed symptoms. People should avoid exposure to crude oil through avoidance of the affected region, or utilizing hazardous materials suits if involved in cleanup, or wearing hazardous waste operations and emergency response suits if SCUBA diving. Concentrations of alkanes and PAHs in the blood of coastal residents and workers should be monitored through time well after the spill has been controlled.
