Historical trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the reservoir sediment core at Osaka
چکیده انگلیسی
The historical trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediment core of the moat in Osaka Castle, located at the center of Osaka city, Japan, were studied. The moats in Osaka Castle were built in the 1620s, and the undisturbed sediment core, which consists of atmospheric deposits in Osaka city from 1671 to 1976, was withdrawn from the moat. PAHs in the sediment core were identified and quantified in the total concentration range of 0.053-26 mg kg−1 dry wt. The highest content of PAHs was found in the sample, which was dated to 1944 during World War II. Osaka Castle was exposed to intense bombing raids during World War II, and the spiked peak of the PAH concentration during the mid-1940s was due to the air attacks. The total PAH concentration in the sediment core sample during World War II was about two-fold greater than the average after the war. This study made it appear that the largest impact of PAHs on the atmospheric environment in Osaka city in almost 300 years was caused by modern warfare.
