Distribution, sources, and potential risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils from an industrial district in Shanxi, China

Abstract: Concentration, composition profile, orientation distribution, sources, and potential risks of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in 76 surface (0-25 cm) soil samples collected from the Changzhi industrial district in July 2014 using a gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS QP2010 Ultra) system. The composition patterns of the PAHs were dominated by the presence of four-ring PAHs (average 42.9%), followed by three-ring (average 25.9%), five-ring PAHs (average 25.6%), two-ring PAHs (av… Show more

“…3 (a), Ant/(Ant + Phe) > 0.1 was detected for 46.7% of water sampling sites (BW-1 to BW-7) and all sediment sampling sites, which attributes the pyrolytic origin of PAHs. Combustion of municipal solid wastes, incomplete combustion of fossil fuel in automobiles, wood, and biomass combustion in road construction activities, etc., are prominent sources of pyrogenic Ant and Phe [ 3 , 58 , 59 ]. It is assumed that municipal waste burning, black smoke from heavy-duty automobile vehicles on the main road, and road construction activities might be responsible for Ant and Phe in those sites, where the influx of pollutants might runoff from non-point sources to the studied area through the municipal drainage system and air transportation.…”

“…Additionally, coal and biomass combustion at low-to-moderate temperatures, as well as petrogenic sources, showed a high significant correlation with NAP and FLU [ 105 ]. ANT has been identified as a marker for wood combustion [ 106 , 107 ]. Liu et al [ 108 ] established that NAP was created from petrogenic and pyrogenic sources.…”

“…Living for a long period of time in environments containing high concentration of Bap can cause chronic poisoning and even lung cancer (Xia et al, 2013). The coal industry, coking, and busy tra c in Shanxi Province are important factors for the formation of high concentrations of Bap (Jiao et al, 2017a). The treatment of industrial waste and automobile exhaust is a highly effective measure in reducing the PAH exposure risk to residents (Andersson & Achten, 2015).…”
