“…Values of PAHs in locations are higher than values along the Govan to Clydebank corridor, the area with a history of heavy industry (concentrations range from 86.9-653 mg/kg) [45], similar as in examined locality. Values are 10 times lower than values in Glasgow soils and 2 times higher than values in Ljubljana and Torino soils [4].…”

“…The PAHs sources can be summarized into groups by origin: pyrogenic, petrogenic, and phytogenic [4]. Diagnostic PAHs molecular ratio methods were used for the identification of PAHs sources of the contamination: Fluo/(Fluo+Pyr), low molecular weight (LMW) (2-3 rings)/high molecular weight (HMW) (≥4 rings), IcdP/(IcdP+BghiP), BaA/(BaA+Chr), ΣCOMB/TPAH and PAH4/ PAH(5+6) [61][62][63][3][4][5], by comparing the concentrations of individual PAHs (Fluo, Pyr, BaA, Chr, IcdP, BghiP, Ant, Phe, BaP, etc.) and qualitatively distinguishing pyrolytic and petrogenic sources [63].…”

Research subjects of this study are four representative locations in the industrial complex, in the city of Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (∑16PAHs), humus and pH were determined. The main objective of the paper is to determine the concentration levels, to assess the probable sources of PAHs contamination in soil and groundwater and to determine the ecological risk. The ∑16PAHs in soil (at depths of 30 cm, 100 cm, 200 cm, 300 cm and 400 cm) ranged from 0.99 to 2.24 mg/kg, from 0.34 to 0.46, from 0.24 to 0.32, from 0.13 to 0.27 and from 0.13 to 0.47, with mean values of 1.70 mg/kg, 0.40 mg/kg, 0.28 mg/kg, 0.20 mg/kg and 0.26 mg/kg, respectively. The ∑16PAHs in groundwater ranged from 0.23 to 4.50 mg/m3, with a mean value of 1.42 mg/m3. Surface soil and groundwater are heavily contaminated. All values of ∑PAHs in soil layers were lower in the depths of the soil. Factor analysis indicates three sources of contamination, i.e. principal component (PC) PC1 (pyrogenic), PC2 (petrogenic) and PC3 (biomass), with 52.39%, 26.14% and 8.46% of the total variance, respectively. ∑PAH and PAHs indicate high ecological risk for most PAHs, which decreases with soil depth.

“…PAHs are produced from anthropogenic activities, i.e. industrial emissions, incomplete combustion of petroleum, coal and other fossil fuels and other industrial and domestic activities [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Natural sources of PAHs formation are: volcanoes, bacterial and algal synthesis, forest fires, petroleum seeps, erosion of sedimentary rocks containing petroleum hydrocarbons and decomposition of vegetative litterfall [7].…”
