1. Profile, source and ecological risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) along the Mauritanian Atlantic Coast, unveiling the silent menace

Abstract:

The Mauritanian Atlantic coast is a vital economic and environmental region currently facing increasing anthropogenic pressures, leading to pollution such as PAHs contamination, which threatens its ecological integrity and economic value. To assess this pollution, the coast was divided into four zones: two anthropogenically stressed (LBZ and PNkt) and two unstressed (PNBA and PDlt). The concentrations of 16 EPA-priority PAHs were determined in sediments and bio-tissues. In sediments, the highest mean concentrations were found in the PNkt (21.1 μg/kg) and LBZ (20.8 μg/kg) zones, while the lowest were in PNBA (15.0 μg/kg) and PDlt (14.6 μg/kg). Additionally, the carcinogenic and ecological risk potentials were higher in the PNkt and LBZ zones, with values of 10.1–10.6 for carcinogenic potential and 0.010–0.017 for ecological risk. These results highlight significant PAHs pollution due to growing anthropogenic activities in this vulnerable region, which should be considered for the sustainable management of Mauritania’s coastal resources.
