This report reviews the current state and possible future trends of PAH contamination in Auckland’s waterways, identifying predominant PAH sources and estimating whether current and future sediment PAH levels represent an elevated risk to benthic aquatic life. Furthermore, it summarises results of a field survey and laboratory analyses, conducted in 2006, to determine dominant PAH sources in Auckland estuarine sediments and ascertain their bioavailability.
