Knowledge on the occurrence and distributions of organic compounds, especially PAHs, POPs and ECs, in karstic river basins is limited. This study aims to determine the depositional history and sources of PAHs, PCBs, OCPs, antibiotics, EDCs and phenolic compounds and the ecological risk they have in the Panyang River Basin, an area with a typical karstic landscape and a high-longevity population. Sediment core analysis was adopted, correlation and principal component analyses were conducted to analyze pollution sources, and lead isotope technology was implemented for dating analysis. The sediment core covered 108 years. PCBs were detected with concentrations ranging from 3.80 to 16.18 mu g/kg in the core with two concentration peaks in 1950 and 2005 that were related to anthropogenic effects. Eight of the 20 targeted phenolic compounds were detected, with concentrations ranging from 0.42 to 1.10 mg/kg. All PAHs were detected in the cores, with concentrations from 12.91 to 37.80 mu g/kg. They were mainly related to natural diagenetic processes and domestic and agricultural sources. The concentrations of different OCP compounds ranged from undetected to 213.43 mu g/kg and were mainly related to agricultural activities and long-range transportation. These key findings can assist environmental planning and management in this river basin. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V. |
