Riverine runoff is one of the most important pathways of pollutants entering the oceans. To study the seasonal variations, spatial transports, sources and mass fluxes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the subtropical Jiulong River watershed to estuary, water samples were collected in w...
