Sediments have long been recognised as a sink for many contaminants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and tributyltin (TBT), which by virtue of their nature can strongly adsorb onto sediments affecting the benthic community inhabiting them. Using geographical information systems, this study reports and combines the results of several already existing studies along Barcelona harbour in order to assess the potential ecological impacts of these contaminants on the benthos of the harbour ecosystem. Chemical analysis indicated low to moderate contents of PAHs and high contents of TBT in sediments in Barcelona harbour. Comparison against existing sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) indicated that acutely toxic effects would not be expected for PAHs but for TBT, which represents a serious environmental threat for the benthic community. Benthos surveys revealed a deterioration of the benthic community throughout the harbour, especially in the inner port. A possible correlation exists between TBT concentration in sediments and ecological effects on benthos in Barcelona harbour. This work was funded by MCYT (project PROFIT FIT- 140100-2003-121) and CICYT (project REN2002-04138-C02-02). V.M. and S.D. would like to express their gratitude for the financial support of the MCYT through the Ramón y Cajal program and X.M.-L. for the financial support of Generalitat de Catalunya (FI program).
