Sources and sinks evaluation of PAHs in leaves of Cinnamomum camphora in megacity: From the perspective of land-use types

Shan Yin et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of various urban land-use types on PAHs in leaves in Shanghai. Different land-use areas were found to have significantly different capacities for producing and absorbing PAHs, with varying main sources and sinks.

A sediment record of terrestrial organic matter inputs to Dongting Lake and its environmental significance from 1855 to 2019

Yanhua Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the historical trend of anthropogenic inputs in West Dongting Lake through the analysis of biomarkers, total organic carbon, and particle size in sediment cores. The sedimentary biomarkers showed significant temporal heterogeneity, controlled by different factors and sedimentary processes. The dominance shift from terrestrial C3 plants to algae in the lake water was attributed to hot and drought climate conditions and enhanced agricultural inputs from 1855 to 2019 in the watershed.

Concentrations and source identification of PAHs, alkyl-PAHs and other organic contaminants in sediments from a contaminated harbor in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Mary-Claire Buell et al.

Summary: The sediments in the inner harbor of Owen Sound Bay in Ontario, Canada are contaminated with organic compounds, mainly from industrial sources. PAH concentrations exceed sediment quality guidelines, indicating contamination from pyrogenic sources and potentially from fuel spills.

Centennial-scale age offsets of plant wax n-alkanes in Adirondack lake sediments

Erika J. Freimuth et al.

Summary: This study aims to quantify and compare C-14 age offsets of plant wax n-alkanes among lakes in the same region, and to determine if drainage and lake basin differences influence these offsets. The research suggests that age offsets in lakes are likely due to reworking of older n-alkanes stored in drainage basin sediments, with minimal catchment soils leading to reduced age distortion of climate signals in plant wax isotopic records.

Sedimentary environment of a dammed lake buried in the modern riverbed of the Yalong River during the Last Glacial Maximum and its implication for fluvial geomorphic evolution

Yingying Ding et al.

Summary: This study reports the frequent occurrences of strong tectonic movement and large-scale landslides along the eastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Through paleoclimatic indicators and C-14 dating results, it reveals the geomorphic evolution process of the lower reaches of the Yalong River during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Sedimentary record and risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the northern Taihu Basin

Tian Sun et al.

Summary: This study conducted in the Taihu basin reveals an increase in PAHs concentration since 1902, attributed to industrial and urban development. The majority of the monitored samples exceeded environmental standards, indicating a significant impact on the environment.
