Determination of PAHs in Surface Waters from the Doce and Piracicaba Rivers in Brazil

Abstract: Sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined in water samples from the Piracicaba River and the Doce River in the municipality of Ipatinga, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were extracted by solid-phase extraction and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatographic with diode-array detector. The limit of detection was as low as 1.3 ng•L −1. All polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found above the limit of quantification in water from at least four of the ei… Show more

“…Biogenic and anthropogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mainly derived from fossil fuel combustion, incineration, production of coke and asphalt, oil refining, aluminium manufacture, and burning of agricultural and forest biomass fuels, can reach water bodies and contaminate rivers due to storm water runoff and discharges of domestic sewage and industrial effluents (Lima et al, 2015).…”
