Abstract:
Abundances and compositions of aliphatic hydrocarbons (AHC) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were investigated in water and bottom sediments of the southwestern Amur Bay, Sea of Japan. Water contained 0-129 ?g/l AHC (average 42.2 ?g/l) and 5-85 ng/l PAH (average 18 ng/l). Bottom sediments contained 168-2098 ?g/g AHC and 7.2-1100 ng/g dry mass PAH. It was shown that input of anthropogenic hydrocarbons is better recorded by molecular markers than by distribution of AHC and PAH concentrations. Discovery of elevated hydrocarbon concentrations in the bottom water layer suggests that bottom sediments induced secondary contamination of the water body.
