“…Potential sources of contamination of the Blachownia reservoir should also include transportation (Kalinowski and Załęska-Radziwiłł 2009, Khalili et al 1995, Sapota 2002, associated with roads in this area (national road no 46, voivodeship roads 904 and 942, dense network of local roads) and pollution from low emission sources (home furnaces). Other ways in which PAHs can enter the surface waters are rain drainage and municipal or industrial wastewater (Khalili et al 1995, Pistelok and Jureczko 2014, Rogula-Kozłowska et al 2012.…”

The content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water and sediments of the Blachownia reservoir (South Poland) was investigated. Spatial variability of PAH concentrations in the longitudinal profi le of the tank was determined. PAHs in samples were determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS QP-2010 Plus Shimadzu) using an internal standard. Concentrations ranged from 0.103 μg/L to 2.667 μg/L (Σ16 PAHs) in water samples and from 2.329 mg/kg d.w. to 9.078 mg/kg d.w. (Σ16 PAHs) in sediment samples. A pollution balance was calculated and it was estimated that the infl ow load was 17.70 kg PAHs during the year and the outfl ow load was 9.30 kg PAHs per year. Accumulation of about 50% of the annual PAH loads (8.90 kg) is a threat to the ecological condition of the ecosystem. It was calculated that the PAH loads in bottom sediment were about 80 kg, which limits their economic use. Improvement of the ecological status of this type of reservoir can be achieved by removing the sediment. Analysis of the diagnostic ratios obtained for selected PAHs showed that the potential sources of PAH emissions in small agricultural -forest catchments can be combustion of a coal, wood, plant material (low emission, forest fi res, burning grass, etc.). Transportation is also signifi cant.

“…Due to the harmful effects on the environment, PAHs can be divided into three groups: PAHs with 2 and 3 aromatic rings (the least harmful and undergoing degradation most easily), PAHs with 4 aromatic rings in the molecule (toxic for animal organisms) and PAHs with 5 and 6 aromatic rings (mutagenic and carcinogenic properties) (Kalinowski andZałęska--Radziwiłł 2009, Kostecki andKowalski 2019).…”

The research determined the concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water and sediments of Kłodnica River reservoirs and distribution depending on number of rings, ecotoxicological impact on studied ecosystems and possible sources of origin. Samples were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis by gas chromatography coupled with a GC-MS mass detector, using a ZB-5MS column and electron ionization. The sum of 16 PAHs in water ranged 0.111-0.301 μg/L (mean 0.200 μg/L) in Dzierżno Duże, 0.0410-0.784 μg/L (mean 0.303 μg/L) in Dzierżno Małe and 0.0920-1.52 μg/L (mean 0.596 μg/L) in Pławniowice. While in sediments respectively: 17.5-37.2 μg/g (mean 26.8 μg/g), 4.33-8.81 μg/g (6.43 μg/g) and 2.27-9.50 μg/g (5.30 μg/g). The concentration of PAHs in sediments of reservoirs, which spatial management of the catchment area accounts for over 90% of agricultural and forest land, was up to eight times lower than in sediments of the reservoir which is 69%, while built-up and transport areas are 24%. In sediments of Dzierżno Małe and Pławniowice PAHs with 5 and 6 rings dominate, while in Dzierżno Duże -2 and 3 rings. Higher concentrations of PAHs with higher molecular weight, found in the bottom water layers, confirm the role of the sedimentation process in the transport of these compounds in reservoirs. Assessment of sediment quality, based on ecotoxicological criteria, showed that PAHs may cause toxic effects in Dzierżno Duże, while in Dzierżno Małe and Pławniowice can cause sporadic adverse effects. The likely source of PAHs in reservoirs is low emissions.
