| Contents Notes |
Explored the relationship of traffic levels to lake and reservoir sediment polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels. Although past studies have documented declines in sediment PAH levels starting in the 1950sm this study documented a steady increase in sediment PAH levels across the United States. Analysis of the specific PAHs measured indicated that the PAHs with increasing concentrations are associated with combustion sources. Increased PAH levels tracked closely with increases in automobile use in study watersheds. |
