Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in freshwater organisms from Hubei, Central China: health risk assessment and source identification

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: the consumption of freshwater organisms. A comparative analysis of PAH concentrations in marine and freshwater organisms showed that the levels of 16 PAHs in marine organisms were more than twice as high as those in freshwater organisms, indicating differing behaviors of PAHs in marine and freshwater environments. Overall, this study significantly enhances the understanding on PAH accumulation in freshwater organisms and provides valuable insights for preventing and controlling PAH pollution in freshwater aquatic products.
