Recreational Boating
• 1 pleasure boat per person in U.S.
• Average use of jetski style craft is 77 hours
• Average for outboard motors is 35 hours

Two-stroke Engines
• Older engines are inefficient
• Can discharge 1/3 uncombusted
• Two-strokes discharge 2-200 million gallons per year

What are PAH and Why Focus on Them?
![Page 11: The Impacts of Two-stroke Gasoline Engines on Fish (2006](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012412/616c76a570fee67d8551308b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Paradigm Shift in Ecotoxicity
1970s:1-2 PAH rings
Mono Di PAH

1990s:3-5 PAH rings

Why Passive Samplers?
3-4 ring hydrocarbons; pesticides; PCBs
Integrated sampling over time Hot spots; Low concentrations Seasonal Trends
Intermittent inputs

Passive vs Grab Samples
• Integrates over time • Easily deployed • No chemicals • Cover entire time • Sensitive (ppb) • Combines all sources • Standards don’t apply

Potential Sources of PAH in Auke Lake
• Recreational Use (PWC, motor boats, floatplanes)
• Highway Runoff • Residential Runoff • Wood Smoke
![Page 25: The Impacts of Two-stroke Gasoline Engines on Fish (2006](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012412/616c76a570fee67d8551308b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions
• Personal Watercraft are correlated with seasonal increases in PAH
• PAH are very toxic • Most PAH were in the top meter • Passive samplers successfully monitor
changes in PAH • Goal: Replace 2 stroke with 4 stroke
