Aliphatic and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Sulfur/Oxygen Derivatives in Northwestern Mediterranean Sediments: Spatial and Temporal Variability, Fluxes, and Budgets
Abstract
The spatial and temporal distribution of aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and sulfur/oxygen derivatives in sediments from the NW Mediterranean basin were investigated. Along the Continental Shelf and slope, an unresolved complex mixture (UCM) of aliphatic hydrocarbons and alkylated PAHs, indicative of petrogenic inputs, were predominant. Long-chain n -alkanes derived from terrestrial plant waxes ( n -C 27, n -C 29, and n -C 31 ) and parent PAHs, which are typical of high-temperature combustion processes, were evenly distributed in the whole basin and largely prevailing in the deepest areas. Perylene, a geochemically derived PAH, was found highly abundant in the areas influenced by river discharges. The highest anthropogenic hydrocarbon inputs were found near the cities of Marseille and Barcelona, being the contribution of the Rhone River ca. 25 times higher than that of the Ebro. Fluxes of PAHs in the deep basin were consistent with a predominant atmospheric input. These results account for an accumulation rate in the NW Mediterranean sediments of 2700 t/year of petrogenic unresolved hydrocarbons (UCM) and 60 t/year of pyrolytic PAHs. Analyses of dated sediment cores from the Rhone and Ebro prodeltas exhibited maximum accumulation rates of PAHs in the 1920−1940 and the 1975−1990 periods, although with a steep decrease since 1985 in the Rhone area.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
