The concentration of six metals/metalloids, five congeners of high molecular weight Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and sum of five congeners of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) determined within marine-coastal sediments of the Apulia Coast during a 5-year long-term monitoring program, are reported through tables and radial graphs. The data are referred to the pollutant concentration determined within 70 sites alongside two marine transects (500 m from coastline and 1750 m of coastline) representing different morphologic features of the coast and different pollution stressors loading [1]. Concentration variability during the five monitored years and data generated by the non-parametric correlation analyses among sediment physical-chemical main parameters and metal concentrations are also included.
