Xiaoyan Yun, Yuyi Yang, Minxia Liu, Miaomiao Zhang, Jun Wang Clean – Soil, Air, Water 2016 , 44 (5), 506–514 DOI: 10.1002/clen.201400187 The distribution patterns, seasonal variations, possible pollution sources and potential ecological risks of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are investigated in the East Lake of China. Results reflect that pyrolytic PAH input and mixture sources containing petroleum and combustion are the primary sources in sediment and water, respectively. It is shown that a relatively moderate ecological risk of PAHs exist in the East Lake of China.
