英文摘要 | The São Francisco River has historical and economic relevance to the development of Northeast Brazil. However, the dams and reservoirs located along the basin and anthropogenic activities have been affecting its estuary. Herein, 26 surface sediment samples were analyzed to access the origin and distribution of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Concentrations of these hydrocarbons ranged from 0.95 μg g−1 to 2.87 μg g−1 in the summer and from 0.22 μg g−1 to 1.49 μg g−1 in the winter. Diagnostic ratios and indexes indicate higher plants, bacteria, and petroleum as hydrocarbon sources. A positive correlation was also observed between ∑n-alkanes and total organic matter (0.25) and fine fraction (0.47) as well as a significant difference (p < 0.05) between long-chain n-alkanes in the two sampling periods. Although the concentrations found in this study were lower than those in the other impacted coastal zones, our results have indicated the possible presence of petroleum contamination mainly associated with the discharge of oil derivatives from boat activities. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd |
