The chronological information provided by sediment cores about the beginning and evolution of anthropogenic contaminants is crucial for understanding the influence of humans on the environment. The dataset provides information about the vertical distribution of heavy metals (HMs), metalloids and various organic contaminants (OCs) including contemporary contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides; as well as persistent organic contaminants (POPs) such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) in sediment cores of two different sampling areas (North and South) of L'Albufera lake. Additional information about the C-data of the organic matter present in the different layers of the sediment cores, and the C-data of the seashells found in some of them are shown. The dataset includes physico-chemical analyses of sediment characteristics at the different selected depth levels such as Organic Carbon (C), Inorganic Carbon (IC), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Sulphur (TS) and texture. Furthermore, ecological risk assessment of these contaminants in surface sediment layers is performed to ascertain is potential toxicity. These data supplement the findings presented and considered in the research article ". Therefore, these data altogether are useful for researchers seeking to assess long-term impact of contamination.
沉积物岩芯提供的关于人为污染物的起始和演变的时间信息对于理解人类对环境的影响至关重要。该数据集提供了有关重金属（HMs）、类金属和各种有机污染物（OCs）垂直分布的信息，包括新出现的关注污染物（CECs），如药品和个人护理产品（PPCPs）以及农药；还有持久性有机污染物（POPs），如多环芳烃（PAHs）、全氟烷基物质（PFASs）、有机磷阻燃剂（OPFRs），这些污染物来自阿尔布费拉湖两个不同采样区域（北部和南部）的沉积物岩芯。还展示了有关沉积物岩芯不同层中存在的有机物的C数据以及其中一些发现的贝壳的C数据的额外信息。该数据集包括对不同选定深度水平的沉积物特征进行的物理化学分析，如有机碳（C）、无机碳（IC）、总氮（TN）、总硫（TS）和质地。此外，还对表层沉积物层中的这些污染物进行了生态风险评估，以确定其潜在毒性。这些数据补充了研究文章中呈现和考虑的研究结果。因此，这些数据对于寻求评估污染长期影响的研究人员来说是有用的。
