摘要

We welcome the opportunity to respond to the comment by DeMott and Gauthier, which was funded by the Pavement Coatings Technology Council, on our recent article. We reported that, following a 2006 ban on coal-tar-based pavement sealant (CT sealant) in Austin, Texas, the sum of the 16 Priority Pollutant PAHs (∑PAH) in sediment in Lady Bird Lake, the principal receiving water body for Austin runoff, declined 58%. CT sealant, a black liquid that is sprayed or painted on asphalt pavement, typically is 15-35% by weight coal tar or coal-tar pitch, which are known human carcinogens. CT sealants have an average ∑PAH concentration of about 66 000 mg kg~(-1), 100s to 1000s of times greater than concentrations in other common PAH sources such as used motor oil, tire particles, and weathered asphalt. Declining concentrations of PAHs in Lady Bird Lake sediment are consistent with earlier estimates, based on PAH profiles, that about 77% of PAHs in the lake sediment were from CT sealant. In addition to the trend testing, the subject publication provides a quantitative evaluation of PAH sources by using both statistical analyses of similarity in PAH profiles and the Contaminant Mass Balance source-apportionment model, and discusses other potential PAH contributors in detail. DeMott and Gauthier write that PAH profiles in Lady Bird Lake sediments "are more consistent with typical parking lot/ street dust profiles than CT sealer profiles" and contend that PAHs in dust and scrapings from CT-sealed pavement are from a mixture of various urban sources. This disregards the orders-of-magnitude differences between PAH concentrations in dust from unsealed parking lots and in dust and scrapings from CT-sealed lots. Samples in the CT-sealant dust profile for six cities, for example, had a mean total PAH (sum of 12 PAHs) of 2200 mg kg~(-1), 81 times greater than the mean of samples from unsealed lots (27 mg kg~(-1)) in the same cities, indicating that about 99% of the PAHs in dust from the CT-sealed lots was from CT sealant, precluding any appreciable contribution to the CT-sealant profile from other urban PAH sources.
