PAH Fluxes to Siskiwit Revisted: Trends in Fluxes and Sources of Pyrogenic PAH and Perylene Constrained via Radiocarbon Analysis
Abstract
Trends in concentrations and radiocarbon content of pyrogenic PAHs and perylene were determined 20 years after a previous study by Mcveety and Hites (1988). Pyrogenic PAH fluxes to sediments were observed to continue to decrease over the period from 1980 to 2000 at this remote site in contrast to observations in more urban areas. Radiocarbon analysis of pyrogenic PAHs showed a 50% decrease in the proportion of pyrogenic PAH derived from fossil …
