AB  - Marine protected areas (MPAs) are one of the policy tools to support marine 
      biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. The 
      distribution, sources, and ecological risk assessment of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs), including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), total 
      petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals 
      (HMs) in sediments of MPAs in the northern Persian Gulf, were evaluated for the 
      first time in this study. The Sigma(16)PAHs ranged from 4.65 to 20.86 mug/kg dry 
      weight (dw). The molecular ratios and ring's pattern of PAHs suggested a mixed 
      origin with a predominance of pyrogenic sources. The TPH concentration varied 
      from 5.21 to 17.90 mug/g dw. Ecological risk assessment suggested that sediment 
      samples in Bushehr Province's MPAs can be categorized as medium risk. The mean 
      concentration of  summation operator(18)PCB was 0.345-0.419 ng/g dw, and the main components 
      correspond to PCB-77, PCB-105, PCB-81, PCB-101, and PCB-114. The mean 
      concentration of As, Co, Cr, Ni, V, Mg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Al, and Fe varied from 4.79 
      to 9.69, 2-12, 39-142, 18-90, 15-58, 184-425, 7-45.9, 6-42.4, 4-20 mug/g dw, 
      0.75-4.12%, and 0.35-1.62%, respectively. Multivariate analysis, such as 
      principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), coupled with 
      correlation coefficient analysis, was used to analyze the analytical data and to 
      identify possible pollution sources. The results of this study provided the 
      background information on the extent of POP contamination in the sediment and 
      highlighted the need to further control pollution in MPAs.
