摘要
Levrier Bay is an important fishing area which is under growing anthropogenic pressures seriously threatening this treasure. Among these pressures Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon are of great environmental concern. Therefore, 16 EPA-PAHs were analyzed using GC?MS in Perna perna species and sediment. Comparison with Dakar (Senegal) and Moroccan coasts shows that PAHs levels are strikingly lower than that of heavily polluted Dakar coast (2474 ?g/kg); nevertheless, comparable to Moroccan Casablanca and Tangier coasts (245 and 351 ?g/kg, respectively). Ratio analysis indicates the predominance of pyrogenic sources and partial contribution of automotive traffic for the half of 4 sites. Furthermore, statistical analys shows that there are no significative differences, except for Benzo(b)Fluorentene in P. perna tissue and 4 PAHs (Fluorene; Fluorenthene; Pyrene; diBenzo(ah)Anthracene and dBahANT) in sediment for sites samples. Furthermore, bioconcentration indicates that P. perna is an excellent PAHs bioindicator. This points the necessity for immediate introduction of a sound Pollutants monitoring system.
