“…PAHs are capable of accumulation in plants (as a main food source for human and animals) and subsequently they can easily enter into food chain, therefore, affect living organisms owing to their toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic properties (Keith and Telliard, 1979;Čvančarová et al, 2013). In general, PAHs are originated from a broad range of natural and especially anthropogenic sources, such as traffic and industrial activity, through the combustion of oil, wood, and other organic materials (Gworek et al, 2014;Serafimovski et al, 2014;Krzebietke et al, 2018). The contamination of soil, sediment, and groundwater can led to subsequent plant contamination (Chang et al, 2013).…”

Distribution and level of 16 individual and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (∑PAHs) were assessed in soils, roots and above-ground tissues of reed (Phragmites australis) on monitoring plots in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinskyi (Southern Russia, Rostov Region). The total concentration of the 16 PAHs in soil samples ranged between 499.0 to 7177.9 µg kg -1 . Samples from the plot no. 4 had the highest PAHs concentrations of 7177.9 µg kg -1 . The mean concentration of ∑16PAHs in plot no. 3 was noticeably higher than those in other monitoring sites for both root (363.0 µg kg -1 ) and above-ground tissues (239.8 µg kg -1 ). The distribution of PAHs ring size was in the order of 5-6˃4˃3˃2 in soil samples and HMW PAHs fractions represent 57.3% of the total PAHs. The concentrations of 3-4 ring PAHs were higher than HMW PAHs with 5-6 aromatic rings in all P. australis tissues. Diagnostic ratios of PAHs indicated that anthropogenic activities were probably major sources of PAHs. Accordingly, the maximum accumulation was found for phenanthrene among the 16 priority PAHs in the most of the soil and plants samples. More PAHs were accumulated in roots, as reflected by its higher mean concentration of PAHs in each plot. In addition, the BCF and TF values of LMW PAHs with 2-and 3-rings were higher than those of HMW PAHs. Taken together, our results indicated that there were an intensive accumulation of PAHs in the zone of industrial sewage tanks and sludge reservoirs as well as an obvious translocations of PAHs from the polluted soils to plant tissues, therefore, more attention is required to be paid to the PAH contamination in this area.

“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are included into the most important environmental pollutants of natural and antropogenic origin including three types of transformation: biological, pyrogenic and petrogenic 1 . It is well documented that PAHs have toxic, carcinogenic and even mutagenic effects on life organisms [1][2][3][4] . Although the human activities contributes to the PAH presence in the elevated concentrations in soils, the microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae can successfully participate in the PAH biodegradation 1,5 .…”

A study was conducted to explore the effects of fertilisation with farmyard manure (FYM) and mineral fertilisers on the content of PAHs in soil. The analyses were made on soil samples (collected in 1998-2009) from a long-term field experiment set up in 1986 in Bałcyny near Ostróda. The content of light and heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was determined on a gas chromatograph coupled with an FID detector. The analytical data were processed statistically according to an analysis of variance with repeated measurements. The content of light and heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was significantly higher in soil fertilised with FYM than in soil nourished only with mineral fertilisers. The effect of increasing doses of potassium on total light PAHs in soil depended on a fertilisation systemthere was either a distinct decrease in soil fertilised with mineral substances alone or a slight increase in soil fertilised with manure. Regular soil liming significantly raised the ∑ of heavy PAHs in soil treated with manure but significantly decreased it in soil supplied only mineral fertilisers.

“…The persistence of PAHs containing three and four aromatic rings increases in acidic soils. Liming can slow down PAH decomposition, depending on soil parameters, environmental factors and the properties of PAHs [21,22]. Most microorganisms are sensitive to pH and have a preference for pH-neutral environments (6.5-7.5) [10].…”

Soil-dwelling microorganisms play an important role in the environment by decomposing organic matter, degrading toxic compounds and participating in the nutrient cycle. The microbiological properties of soil are determined mainly by the soil pH, granulometric composition, temperature and organic carbon content. In agricultural soils, these parameters are modified by agronomic operations, in particular fertilization. Soil enzymes participate in nutrient cycling and they are regarded as sensitive indicators of microbial activity and changes in the soil environment. The aim of the present study was to determine whether PAH content in soil is associated with the microbial activity and biochemical properties of soil during the growing season of spring barley treated with manure and mineral fertilizers. Soil samples for analysis were collected on four dates in 2015 from a long-term field experiment established in 1986 in Bałcyny near Ostróda (Poland). The total content of PAHs was lowest in August (194.8 µg kg−1) and highest in May (484.6 µg kg−1), whereas the concentrations of heavier weight PAHs was highest in September (158.3 µg kg−1). The study demonstrated that weather conditions and microbial activity induced considerable seasonal variations in PAHs content. Manure increased the content of organic carbon and total nitrogen, the abundance of organotrophic, ammonifying and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi and enhanced the activity of soil enzymes, including dehydrogenases, catalase, urease, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase.
