dc.description.abstractSeasonal sediment samples were collected along the Giresun coastline of southeastern Black Sea and analyzed to detect the levels of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The PAH levels, ranging from 28.47 to 444.36 ng g(-1) with the mean of 102.57 ng g(-1) remained lower than those detected in most of the other sediment studies conducted worldwide. The percentage of three-ring PAHs (38.9%) was rather high, followed by that of 5-ring PAHs (21.8%). Detection rates revealed that PAHs in surface sediments along the Giresun coastline are mainly associated with coal combustion and local emissions. The evaluation with sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) showed that the level of PAHs was comparable to that at which the risk of adverse biological effects cannot be ruled out (>= TEL and < PEL) in some stations. The risk posed by PAHs in Giresun coastal sediments appears to be low to moderate ecological risk according to the risk quotient.en_US
