... However, the PAH fingerprinting of petrogenic and pyrogenic sources are more likely to be inferred and identified using specific PAH isomer diagnostic pair ratios. Petrogenic sources are generally linked to LMW PAHs, while combustion processes (i.e., pyrogenic sources) are linked to HMW PAHs (Lourenço et al., 2013). Because sediments are a significant long-term record of PAH contamination's natural and anthropogenic origins, the sediment data were mainly used to identify potential PAH sources in the study area, complemented by the PAH data measured in fish. ...
