Enhanced sorption of PAHs in natural-fire-impacted sediments from Oriole Lake, California

Surface sediment cores from Oriole Lake (CA) were analyzed for organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), and their δ(13)C isotope ratios. Sediments displayed high OC (20-25%) and increasing BC concentrations from ～0.40% (in 1800 C.E.) to ～0.60% dry weight (in 2000 C.E.). Petrographic analysis confirmed the presence of fire-derived carbonaceous particles/BC at ～2% of total OC. Natural fires were the most likely cause of both elevated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations and enhanced sorption in Oriole Lake sediments prior to 1850, consistent with their tree-ring-based fire history. In contrast to other PAHs, retene and perylene displayed decreasing concentrations during periods with natural fires, questioning their use as fire tracers. The occurrence of natural fires, however, did not result in elevated concentrations of black carbon or chars in the sediments. Only the 1912-2007 sediment layer contained anthropogenic particles, such as soot BC. In this layer, combining OC absorption with adsorption to soot BC (using a Freundlich coefficient n = 0.7) explained the observed sorption well. In the older layers, n needed to be 0.3 and 0.5 to explain the enhanced sorption to the sediments, indicating the importance of natural chars/inertinites in sorbing PAHs. For phenanthrene, values of n differed significantly between sorption to natural chars (0.1-0.4) and sorption to anthropogenic black carbon (>0.5), suggesting it could serve as an in situ probe of sorbents.     

Elemental and molecular evidence of soot- and char-derived black carbon inputs to New York City's atmosphere during the 20th century

Soot black carbon (here expressed as GBC) is present in sediments of Central Park and Prospect Park Lakes, New York City (NYC), and peaks in the middle of the 20th Century at the highest values (1-3% dry weight) ever reported in urban lakes. During that period (approximately 1940-1970), the GBC represents up to 28% of the total organic carbon (OC). Radionuclide-normalized whole core inventories of accumulated GBC are similar in the two lakes which are separated by approximately 15 km, suggesting that emissions of fine soot particles may have accumulated homogeneously over at least the urban center of NYC. The distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediments is decoupled from that of GBC. The highest levels of total PAHs correspond to peak coal use for space heating in NYC in the early 1900s. In contrast, GBC concentrations were highest in the mid 1900s, a period when oil combustion dominated local fossil fuel use and incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) was common practice in NYC. Decreases in GBC levels observed in more recently deposited sediments are consistent with improvements in particle emissions control systems. Non-soot BC (char) was identified by a high carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio that persisted after correction for GBC. This likely tracer of MSW incineration was estimated to contribute an additional '35% of total organic carbon found in the sediments deposited during the peak period of combustion. The temporal trends of soot-BC observed in our lake cores do not agree with published historical reconstructions based on fuel consumption and estimated emission factors.     

Formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in beef and lamb kokorec: Effects of different animal fats

Traditional kokorec, which is one of the products of offal (edible by-products) and consumed enthusiastically in Turkey, is produced from fresh and washed lamb and calf small intestines. Some health risks can occur unless hygiene and sanitation rules are followed and proper cooking procedures are applied during the production process of kokorec. One of the most important among these risks is the microbial origin hazard and another is the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, the aim was to determine the concentrations of eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons formed during the cooking of kokorec produced from beef and lamb small intestines by adding various animal fats. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonformation was specified in ready-to-consume kokorec samples in which eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations varied between 3.07 and 40.11 µg/kg. The consumption of lamb kokorec could be recommended to consumers because its average total eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentration was lower than that of beef kokorec.     

Sorption to black carbon of organic compounds with varying polarity and planarity

It is becoming increasingly clear that the products of incomplete combustion (soot and charcoal, collectively termed black carbon or BC) can be responsible for as much as 80 - 90% of the total sorption to sediments of aromatic, planar, and hydrophobic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or planar polychlorinated biphenyls. In the present study, it was investigated whether a nonpolar aliphatic compound (hexachloroethane) and three nonplanar bipolar compounds with different functional groups [free electron pairs but no aromatic ring (butylate) or free electron pairs and an aromatic ring (diuron, atrazine)] would also show strong and nonlinear sorption to a BC-enriched sediment. At a concentration of 1 ng/L, the extent of elevated BC sorption compared to total organic carbon (TOC) sorption increased in the order atrazine < hexachloroethane < butylate < diuron. Rationalization of the differences between the sorbates was attempted in terms of dispersive and steric effects. This study shows that the effects of strong BC sorption apply to a broader range of organic contaminants than previously thought, and the results will aid in a better understanding of BC sorption mechanisms and improved fate modeling of contaminants in the environment.     

Strong sorption of native PAHs to pyrogenic and unburned carbonaceous geosorbents in sediments

It has recently been shown that the presence of carbonaceous geosorbents (CG, including black carbon (BC), unburned coal, and kerogen) can cause strong sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments. We studied sorption of native PAHs in four Norwegian harbor sediments of which high fractions (21-56%) of the total organic carbon (TOC) consisted of CG carbon (CGC), as shown by organic petrography. PAH sorption coefficients were 1-2 orders of magnitude above predictions based on amorphous organic carbon partitioning alone. In recent studies, such strong sorption was attributed solely to BC sorption under the implicit assumption that sorption is linear for coal and kerogen. The most important result of the present study is that total sorption is better explained by considering all three nonlinearly sorbing CGC materials than by only considering BC. In addition, it was evaluated whether activated carbon (AC) amendments could be effective in reducing the freely dissolved pore-water concentrations (CW) and thus the environmental risks of the PAHs in such strongly sorbing sediments. The results indicated that an addition of 2 weight % AC reduced the Cw by factors of 21-153 for the four sediments (average values for all PAHs). Itwas shown that phenanthrene sorption to AC was, on average, reduced by a factor of 6 in sediment-AC mixtures compared to pure AC.     

Resolving the origin of the petrogenic hydrocarbon background in Prince William Sound, Alaska

The dominant sources of the petrogenic hydrocarbon background in benthic sediments of Prince William Sound, AK (PWS), site of the 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill, are eroding Tertiary shales and residues of natural oil seepage. Mass balance considerations and statistical analyses of hydrocarbon fingerprints independently indicate that coal contributes generally less than 1% of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and chemical biomarkers in this background. This is environmentally significant because of presumed differences in the bioavailability of PAH in coal, seep oil residues, and shales. Coal particles are present in PWS sediments, but their PAH and chemical biomarker contributions are overwhelmed by those of seep oil residues and organic particles from shales of low-to-high thermally maturity. In the late Tertiary or early Quaternary, the currently exposed and eroding shale formations were heated into the oil-generation window and, consequently, are now relatively rich in extractable PAH and chemical biomarkers. The exposed and eroding coals in the area, in contrast, experienced long hot burial and are now thermally overmature with respect to oil generation. The concentrations of thermally sensitive PAH and biomarker compounds in PWS sediments are not consistent with a mature coal origin but are consistent with the low-to-high maturity shales and seep oils in the area.     

Concentrations and Profiles of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Some Commercial Brands of Tea-, Coffee-, and Cocoa-Based Food Drinks in Nigeria

Concentrations and profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined in some popular commercial brands of tea-, coffee-, and cocoa-based food drinks in Nigeria by gas chromatograph-flame ionization after hexane/dichloromethane extraction and clean up. The concentrations of the ∑16 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in these products ranged from 5.2–913.1, 38.7–593.1, and 38.0–1406.4 μg kg^?1 for tea-, coffee-, and cocoa-based food drinks, respectively. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon profiles indicate the dominance of three and four rings PAHs in these food items. The concentrations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) eight carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ranged from nd–218.9, nd–102.9, and nd–1248.5 μg kg^?1 for tea-, coffee-, and cocoa-based food drinks, respectively.     

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in stormwater runoff from sealcoated pavements

Coal-tar based sealcoat has been identified as a source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment. This study measured the long-term release of PAHs in parking lot runoff and found that the presence of coal tar sealant increased the mass of PAHs released in runoff by over an order of magnitude. PAH concentrations in stormwater from two coal tar sealed parking lots and one unsealed parking lot (control) were monitored over a two-year period. The measured flow volume and concentrations were used to calculate a mass of 9.8-10.8 kg total Σ16 PAHs per hectare exported in stormwater runoff from the two sealed parking lots and 0.34 kg total Σ16 PAHs per hectare from the unsealed control. The study also measured sediment PAH concentration changes in a receiving drainage and found that even partial coverage of a drainage area by coal tar sealant resulted in measurable increases in PAH sediment concentrations; PAH concentrations in sediment in a stormwater swale receiving runoff from both sealed and unsealed lots increased near the outfall from less than 4 mg/kg prior to sealing to 95.7 mg/kg after sealing. Compound ratio plots and principal components analysis were examined and were able to clearly differentiate between pre- and postsealant samples.     

Influence of sediment-amendment with single-walled carbon nanotubes and diesel soot on bioaccumulation of hydrophobic organic contaminants by benthic invertebrates

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have extremely high affinity for hydrophobic organic contaminants, considerably higher than natural or refractory (e.g., soot and detrital) carbon found in sediments. To evaluate the effect of sediment-associated SWNT on contaminant uptake from sediments by infaunal deposit feeders, we have conducted a comparative bioaccumulation study using two infaunal estuarine invertebrates. The deposit-feeding meiobenthic copepod Amphiascus tenuiremis and the deposit/suspension-feeding polychaete Streblospio benedicti were exposed to hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers for 14 days in the presence of sediment amended with (1) SWNTs, (2) NIST diesel soot, or (3) no carbon amendment. Coaddition of SWNT to sediments significantly reduced bioaccumulation of HOCs in S. benedicti; however, soot addition tended to increase the bioaccumulation of these same compounds in the polychaete worm. Bioaccumulation of HOCs from sediments by copepods (A. tenuiremis) was less dependent on black carbon addition to sediment; neither SWNT nor soot significantly impacted bioaccumulation of PAHs from sediment by this organism. Exposure of both copepods and polychaetes to radiolabeled (14C) SWNT in estuarine sediments revealed that these organisms did not assimilate these materials into their tissues, although S. benedicti did ingest 14C-SWNT, as fecal rods from this organism contained identical 14C activity as that of the sediment to which the worms were exposed.     

Trends in hydrophobic organic contaminants in urban and reference lake sediments across the United States, 1970-2001

A shift in national policy toward stronger environmental protection began in the United States in about 1970. Conversely, urban land use, population, energy consumption, and vehicle use have increased greatly since then. To assess the effects of these changes on water quality, the U.S. Geological Survey used sediment cores to reconstruct water-quality histories for 38 urban and reference lakes across the United States. Cores were age-dated, and concentration profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and chlorinated hydrocarbons were tested statistically. Significant trends in total DDT, p,p'-DDE, and total PCBs were all downward. Trends in chlordane were split evenly between upward and downward, and trends in PAHs were mostly upward. Significant trends did not occur in about one-half of cases tested. Concentrations of p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, and PCBs were about one-half as likely to exceed the probable effect concentration (PEC), a sediment quality guideline, in sediments deposited in the 1990s as in 1965-1975, whereas PAHs were twice as likely to exceed the PEC in the more recently deposited sediments. Concentrations of all contaminants evaluated correlated strongly with urban land use. Upward trends in PAH concentrations, the strong association of PAH with urban settings, and rapid urbanization occurring in the United States suggest that PAHs could surpass chlorinated hydrocarbons in the threat they pose to aquatic biota in urban streams and lakes.     

Oil weathering after the deepwater horizon disaster led to the formation of oxygenated residues

Following the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the effect of weathering on surface slicks, oil-soaked sands, and oil-covered rocks and boulders was studied for 18 months. With time, oxygen content increased in the hydrocarbon residues. Furthermore, a weathering-dependent increase of an operationally defined oxygenated fraction relative to the saturated and aromatic fractions was observed. This oxygenated fraction made up >50% of the mass of weathered samples, had an average carbon oxidation state of -1.0, and an average molecular formula of (C(5)H(7)O)(n). These oxygenated hydrocarbon residues were devoid of natural radiocarbon, confirming a fossil source and excluding contributions from recent photosynthate. The incorporation of oxygen into the oil's hydrocarbons, which we refer to as oxyhydrocarbons, was confirmed from the detection of hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups and the identification of long chain (C(10)-C(32)) carboxylic acids as well as alcohols. On the basis of the diagnostic ratios of alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the context within which these samples were collected, we hypothesize that biodegradation and photooxidation share responsibility for the accumulation of oxygen in the oil residues. These results reveal that molecular-level transformations of petroleum hydrocarbons lead to increasing amounts of, apparently recalcitrant, oxyhydrocarbons that dominate the solvent-extractable material from oiled samples.     

Effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the chemistry of bottom sediments in Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, U.S.A

The effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the subsequent unwatering of New Orleans, Louisiana, on the sediment chemistry of Lake Pontchartrain were evaluated by chemical analysis of samples of street mud and suspended and bottom sediments. The highest concentrations of urban-related elements and compounds (e.g., Pb, Zn, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlordane) in bottom sediments exceeded median concentrations in U.S. urban lakes and sediment-quality guidelines. The extent of the elevated concentrations was limited, however, to within a few hundred meters of the mouth of the 17th Street Canal, similar to results of historical assessments. Chemical and radionuclide analysis of pre- and post-Hurricane Rita samples indicates that remobilization of near-shore sediment by lake currents and storms is an ongoing process. The effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the sediment chemistry of Lake Pontchartrain are limited spatially and are most likely transitory.

Reinterpreting literature sorption data considering both absorption into organic carbon and adsorption onto black carbon

We hypothesized that the sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to natural sediments and soils should consider both absorption into a biogenic/diagenetic organic carbon (OC) fraction and adsorption onto a combustion-derived, black carbon (BC) fraction. Here, two sets of literature data were reevaluated to illustrate that an OC absorbent and a BC adsorbenttogether can (1) account for sediment--pore-waterdistribution coefficients observed in the field that are greater than predicted by a simple f(OC)K(OC) partitioning model and (2) explain a group of nonlinear phenanthrene isotherms observed in the laboratory with a single value for the BC-normalized distribution coefficient (log K(BC) = 6.1 i 0.04) and a Freundlich exponent (n approximately 0.6 if log K(OC) = 4.0) that is strongly dependent on the K(OC) value selected.     

Effects of microbially mediated redox conditions on PAH-soil interactions

The impacts of microbially mediated redox conditions on the bioavailability of persistent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils and sediments have received little study, despite the fact that most water-saturated soils and sediments spend a significant portion of the time under reduced conditions. To address this need an uncontaminated surface soil was incubated under various redox conditions (aerobic, nitrate-reducing, sulfate-reducing, and methanogenic). Depending on redox conditions, different quantities of fulvic and humic acids were liberated as dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the soil during incubation. The DOM released under highly reduced conditions was more nonpolar, aromatic, and polydisperse, of higher molecular weight, and had a higher sorption capacity for pyrene compared to that obtained from relatively oxic incubations. The soil-phase organic matter incubated under reduced conditions also became relatively more aromatic, containing nonpolar organic molecules of lower oxygen contents and exhibiting higher capacity and more nonlinear and hysteric sorption/desorption behavior for pyrene. These observations support the hypothesis that reduced environments established by indigenous soil microbes alter soil organic matter in a matter similar to diagenetic processes. Such humification-like alteration occurred principally in relatively more labile fractions of soil organic matter. These findings are important for assessing the ultimate fate and exposure risk of hydrophobic organic contaminants in soils and sediments where living microorganisms play a significant role in formation and evolution of soil/sediment organic matter.

Surface chemical characterization of 2.5-microm particulates (PM2.5) from air pollution in Salt Lake City using TOF-SIMS, XPS, and FTIR

Particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microm collected in Salt Lake City (SLC PM2.5) was studied using TOF-SIMS (time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). The high spatial resolution and high surface sensitivity of TOF-SIMS allow the surfaces of individual particulates to be analyzed. The high mass-resolution of TOF-SIMS provides good separation of signals from different chemical species at the same nominal mass, and the extremely high detection sensitivity of TOF-SIMS makes the detection of trace elements possible. Metallic elements such as Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cs, and Bi were detected by TOF-SIMS on the surface of SLC PM25. The uranium ion U+ together with its oxide ions UO+ and UO2+ were also found. Inorganic compounds detected include oxides, hydroxides, nitrates, sulfates, silicates, borates, chlorides, etc. Organic compounds detected include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ethers, carboxylic acids, amines, amides, nitriles, etc. A number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected by TOF-SIMS. High-resolution XPS Cls spectrum shows functional groups such as C-O, CO2, C-CO2, C-C, and C-H and aromatic pi-pi* shake-up transitions. High-resolution XPS O 1s spectrum indicates the coexistence of different oxygen compounds on the surface of PM2.5. FTIR results confirm the presence of various organic compounds in SLC PM2.5 detected by TOF-SIMS and XPS.     

Comparative evaluation of background anthropogenic hydrocarbons in surficial sediments from nine urban waterways

Anthropogenic hydrocarbons in surficial urban sediments derived from nonpoint sources (e.g., stormwater runoff, surface runoff, direct atmospheric deposition, and small but persistent discharges) are the principal characteristics of "urban background". Establishing the character and concentration of urban background helps determine the incremental impacts from point sources and develop successful remedial strategies. In this study, we compared the nature and amount of total extractable hydrocarbons (THC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including alkylated PAHs, within 280 surficial (mostly 0-10 cm) sediments from nine, well-studied urban waterways on the East and West U.S. Coasts. These 280 sediments were predominantly impacted by urban background. All the sediments were analyzed by consistent preparation and analytical methods and met consistent data quality objectives, thereby minimizing variations attributable to methodology. The data demonstrate that the anthropogenic hydrocarbons comprising urban background from all locations exhibit a generally consistent nature, dominated by (1) a variably shaped unresolved complex mixture (UCM) within the residual (C20+) range and (2) a variable distribution of resolved 4- to 6-ring nonalkylated (parent) PAHs, mostly dominated by fluoranthene and pyrene (and exhibiting a FL/PY ratio of 0.9 +/- 0.2). The variable nature of both the THC and PAH distributions testifies that, while there is a general consistency to urban background, there are definite differences between (and even within) different urban settings. This indicates thatthere is no single "representative" urban background THC or PAH signature. The greatest mass of THC is reasonably attributable to heavy petroleum(s) comprising the UCM, whereas the greatest mass of PAHs is reasonably attributable to combustion-derived particulate matter. The mean concentration of THC attributable to urban background was 415 mg/kg (dry wt). The concentration of EPA 16-Priority Pollutant PAHs was less than 20 000 microg/kg (dry wt) in 96% of the sediments studied. Thus, sediments containing significantly more than 20000 microg/kg of the EPA 16 Priority Pollutant PAHs (or more the 30000 microg/kg of 43 parent and alkylated PAHs) should be suspected to contain PAHs not entirely attributable to urban background, unless site- or regional-specific survey data supports a different urban background concentration profile.     

Spatial variations and chronologies of aliphatic hydrocarbons in Lake Michigan sediments

Four sediment cores were collected in fine-grained depositional areas of the southern basin of Lake Michigan. Spatial variations of aliphatic hydrocarbons in surficial sediments were consistent with a lakeward movement of riverine sediments in a series of resuspension-settling cycles in which an unresolved complex mixture (UCM) of hydrocarbons associated with dense sediments is deposited in nearshore areas, fine-grained sediments of terrestrial origin accumulate in the deep basin, and planktonic hydrocarbons are depleted by microbial degradation during transport to the deep basin. The rate of accumulation of the UCM (a marker of petroleum residues) in deep basin sediments has increased by more than an order of magnitude since 1880, from 60 microg m(-2) x a(-1) to approximately 960 microg m(-2) x a(-1) in 1980. Crude estimates of the atmospheric loading of the UCM (1100 microg m(-2) x a(-1)) indicate that accumulations in deep-basin sediments might be supported by atmospheric deposition. Agreement was poor between the atmospheric flux of the terrestrial n-alkanes (sigmaC25, C27, C29, C31) to the deep basin (3200 microg m(-2) x a(-1)) and the sediment accumulation rate (660 microg m(-2) x a(-1)). Understanding of atmospheric fluxes, estimated from the very few available data, would be improved by more frequent measurement of the levels of aliphatic hydrocarbons in air and precipitation and a better knowledge of the particle deposition velocities and precipitation scavenging coefficients.
