Abstract

Highlights: [•] Sedimentary PAHs in Guan River Estuary were investigated for the first time. [•] PAH concentrations were low in comparison with other estuaries around the world. [•] PAH concentrations appeared to be negatively correlated with sediment grain size. [•] Sedimentary PAHs in GRE mainly originated from pyrolytic sources. [•] Sedimentary PAHs in GRE indicated low negative effects except FLO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
