Coupled geophysics and geochemistry to record recent coastal changes of contaminated sites of the Bagnoli industrial area, Southern Italy

The paper shows the results of a geochemical - geophysical survey on the decommissioned industrial area of Bagnoli (Naples, southern Italy). Analyses of 15 priority congeners of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were carried out on 21 sediment cores, collected on the beaches surrounding the old iron and steel industrial plant that was active over the last century.
