| Abstract | Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in surface sediments and one dated sediment core from the Songhua River, Northeast China. The total concentration of 15 PAHs (16 priority pollutants designed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency minus naphthalene) in the surface sediments ranged from 16 to 421 ng/g dry weight. An evaluation of PAH sources based on diagnostic ratios suggested that PAHs in the most surface sediments were mainly derived from biomass and coal combustion, with the exception of those from Jilin City, where both petroleum contamination and combustion were possible sources of PAHs. A historical record of PAH contamination was reconstructed using a $^{210}$Pb and $^{137}$Cs dated sediment core from a backwater zone of the river. The characteristic changes in concentrations, fluxes and patterns of 15 PAHs over the past 75 years were captured in detail. Two increases in PAH fluxes were observed during the period from the early 1930s to the mid 1960s, and from the mid 1970s and the mid 1990s. The increases were attributed to the several wars (1937–1953) and reconstruction of new China (1949–1965) and the implementation of the Reform and Open Policy since 1978. Two declines in PAH fluxes were also observed from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s and from the mid 1990s to the present. The decreases were attributed to the Great Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) and the implementation of some pollution reduction measures since the 1990s. This study is the first attempt to provide information on the sedimentary record of PAHs in the Songhua River. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
