Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Saguenay Fjord, Canada

· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
The purpose of this study is to determine the spatial distribution of PAH concentrations in the Saguenay Fjord surface sediments and to study the behavior of these compounds in this marine environment. This 100 km river is the major tributary to the St-Lawrence estuary. It is highly industrialized and aluminium smelting plants, which dominate the industrial sector, are apparently the major source of PAH to the river. Moreover, a study has shown high levels of PAH in the sediments of Baie des Haexclamation Haexclamation in the Saguenay Fjord.
