Abstract:The 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that were prioritized by US EPA (excluding naphthalene) were investigated in ambient seawater, sediments, and corals from the coral reef regions (CRRs) of Weizhou Island, Beibu Gulf. The results show that these PAHs widely presented in the seawater, sediments, and corals. All of them were dominated by 3-rings PAHs (68.47%~85.62%). The total concentration of 15PAHs (∑15PAHs) was relatively higher in the seawater ((2004.49±946.22) ng/L), coral tissues ((2488.58±1375.33) ng/g), and symbiotic zooxanthellae ((2496.76±979.26) ng/g), while lower in the sediment ((61.38±37.41) ng/g). Compared with the seawater and coral tissues in October 2015, the PAHs’ levels were significantly higher in this survey. The negative relationship between ∑15PAHs and chlorophyll-a concentration ((2.14±1.92) mg/L) in coral symbiotic zooxanthellae was significant (P<0.05), indicating that the biomass dilution had a crucial effect on the ∑15PAHs in coral symbiotic zooxanthellae, i.e., the rapid propagation and growth of coral symbiotic zooxanthellae would lead to the increase in chlorophyll-a concentration and the decrease in ∑15PAHs. The most of the 3-rings and 4-rings PAHs in the seawater from Weizhou Island CRRs were already at the medium-high ecological risk to marine organisms, while fluorene (FLU), phenanthrene (PHE), and pyrene (PYR) in the sediment reached the moderate ecological risk to marine organisms. Further studies on the toxic effects of PAHs on coral symbiotic zooxanthellae are needed. Finally, the source apportionment indicates that the PAHs in the seawater were mainly from spilled oil and coal and biomass combustion, and the PAHs in sediment were mainly from spilled oil and fossil fuels combustion.
