A review on the occurrences of persistent organic pollutants in corals, sediments, fish and waters of the Western Indian Ocean

Hossein Miraji et al.

Summary: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and dioxins, exhibit characteristics of environmental persistence, transboundary mobility, lipophilicity, and bioaccumulation, which pose risks to marine ecosystems. Despite limited data on POPs in the Western Indian Ocean, it was observed that pollutants like DDT and PCBs are primarily transformation products rather than fresh entities. Coastal corals and ocean waters show higher contamination levels compared to offshore areas, indicating terrestrial anthropogenic pollution.

Residues of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in waters of the Ili-Balkhash Basin, arid Central Asia: Concentrations and risk assessment

Beibei Shen et al.

Summary: The study found relatively low concentrations of OCPs and PAHs in arid regions, with sources including agricultural, industrial, and domestic activities. Different sites showed varying primary sources of PAHs, including oil leakage, biomass burning, coal combustion, and petroleum-powered vehicles. Contaminated headwater areas suggest long-range transport as a significant mechanism for pollutant distribution.

Riverine transport and water-sediment exchange of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) along the middle-lower Yangtze River, China

Zhonghua Zhao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that sediments in the Yangtze River act as a secondary emission source and sink for PAHs, contributing to higher risks downstream. Elevated PAH levels in developed areas were linked to economic factors, primarily from coal and vehicle emissions. Water runoff was identified as the main transport pathway for PAHs in the middle-lower Yangtze River, while dam impoundment upstream led to decreased sediment discharge and increased retention effect.

Priority and emerging organic microcontaminants in three Mediterranean river basins: Occurrence, spatial distribution, and identification of river basin specific pollutants

Marianne Kock-Schulmeyer et al.

Summary: The worldwide growing use of chemicals poses potential risks to human health and ecosystems. Mediterranean rivers differ from Northern and Central European rivers in terms of hydrological regime, climate conditions, and socio-economic factors, leading to variations in pollutant categories, water quality, and environmental fate.

Concentrations, sources and risks of PAHs in dissolved and suspended material particulate fractions from the Northwest Atlantic Coast of the Iberian Peninsula

Maria Joa et al.

Summary: The study found that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were present in seawater samples from three Iberian Atlantic habitats, mainly originating from petroleum and smoke. Although the calculated carcinogenic potential is low, both toxic equivalent factors and environmental risk coefficients indicate that the evaluated areas are not risk-free.

Temporal-spatial survey of PAHs and PCBs in the Atlantic Iberian northwest coastline, and evaluation of their sources and risks for both humans and aquatic organisms

Maria Joao Rocha et al.

Summary: The study analyzed sixteen priority PAHs and seven PCBs in water samples from four beaches along the Iberian northwest coastline, revealing seasonal fluctuations and potential sources. Evaluation showed low carcinogenic potential for PAHs and low impact on biota for PCBs. In vivo acute assays confirmed the coastline is not risk-free when exposed to environmental concentrations of these compounds.
