Pyrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Sediments Record Past Human Activity: A Case Study in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are sensitive recorders of past human activities in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

description Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are sensitive recorders of past human activities in Prince William Sound, Alaska. In the nearshore subtidal sediments of bays, the fingerprints of the pyrogenic (combustion-derived) PAH record numerous sites of both present and historical human activities including active settlements, fish hatcheries, fish camps and recreational campsites, in addition to abandoned settlements, canneries, sawmills, and mining camps. In instances, there are high levels of PAH attributable to past human activities even though there is little remaining visual evidence of these activities on the shorelines. Forest fires are also an important source of pyrogenic PAH in subtidal sediments at certain time periods and locations and pyrogenic PAH from atmospheric fallout forms part of the regional PAH background. These pyrogenic PAH fingerprints are superimposed on a regional background of natural petroleum hydrocarbons derived from seeps in the eastern Gulf of Alaska. In isolated locations, weathered traces of the Exxon Valdez oil spill were detected as a minor part of the total PAH present from all sources.
