heal.abstract	Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) vertical profiles were studied in two sediment cores collected from Elefsis bay in Greece. Total PAH concentrations ranged between 75 and 3492 ng/g in that from the west and between 42 and 2228 in that from the east. These values are considered as high and indicate serious pollution problems in the area. In the western core PAH vertical distribution was relatively uniform for the first 10 cm (1970 - today) with a maximum in the 7-8 cm layer corresponding to the years 1974-1978. In the eastern core the high PAH values remained almost constant down to 17 cm. and the maximum value was recorded in the 2-3 cm layer. In order to investigate the PAH sources and inputs various diagnostic criteria based on specific isomeric PAH ratios were applied, indicating a mixed origin, both pyrolytic and petrogenic.	en
