“…Naphthalene and its methylated derivatives were detected in the highest concentration among the representatives of that group. It is also worth mentioning that, similarly to the precipitation samples from various sites from the Arctic to the tropics [22,39,40,[43][44][45], fluoranthene and chrysene levels were higher than that of other detected PAH, except naphthalene (Table 2). A feature of PAHs in the Arctic air samples involved the presence of a number of peaks of isomeric ions with higher retention times and relatively high intensities on XIC chromatograms (Figure 2).…”

Environmental issues in the Arctic region are of primary importance due to the fragility of the Arctic ecosystem. Mainly persistent organic compounds are monitored in the region by nine stationary laboratories. Information on the volatile (VOC) and semi volatile (SVOC) organic priority pollutants is very limited, especially for the Russian Arctic. Air samples from 16 sites along the Russian Arctic coast from the White Sea to the East Siberian Sea were collected on sorption tubes packed with Tenax, Carbograph, and Carboxen sorbents with different selectivity for a wide range of VOCs and SVOCs in 2020 within the framework of the International Siberian Shelf Study Expedition on the research vessel Akademik Keldysh. Thermal desorption gas chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry with Orbitrap was used for the analysis. Eighty-six VOCs and SVOCs were detected in the air samples at ng/m3 levels. The number of quantified compounds varied from 26 to 66 per sample. Benzoic acid was the major constituent, followed by BTEX, phenol, chloroform, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and carbon tetrachloride. The study allowed for obtaining the first ever data on the presence of 138 priority pollutants in the air of Russian Arctic, whereas the thorough assessment of their possible sources will be the aim of a next investigation.

“…Apparently, this is due to the migration of moisture, permeating the entire cycle of plant development. According to the frequency of occurrence in environments, Naph is the leader (except for snow in the zones of influence of vehiclesit is absent there, due to the high temperature of fuel combustion in engines[9]). Similarly, Naph Phen and Flu are detected, although they are more resistant to environmental influences, and their appearance, in addition to pyrogenic technogenesis, may be due to the generation of organic matter.2.…”

The results of the analysis of thermodynamic characteristics of the processes of hydrocarbon amassment in the components of geochemical systems are presented (waters, soils, plants and other substances forming ecosystem). The need to use an ideology and apparatus for calculating thermodynamics is due to the complexity and diversity of mass transfer in interacting media. The material and energy flows of marker compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are analyzed: Naphthalene (Naph), Acenaphthene (Ace), Fluorene (Flourene), Phenanthrene (Phen), Anthracene (An), Fluoranthene (Flu), Pyrene (Py), benzo[a]anthracene (BaA), Chrysene (Chr), Benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbFlu), Benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkFlu), Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), Benzo[ghi]perylene (Bghi), Dibenzo[a, h]anthracene (DbA), Indeno[1, 2-cd]pyrene (Ip). Estimates are obtained of the intensity of PAH concentration processes in geochemical systems in different states from the point of view of stability, from clearly unstable to metastable. The role of living matter in the formation of stability of geochemical systems is revealed.

“…This finding highlights the importance of a balanced assessment in the application of biochar capping techniques, especially in sediments contaminated with various pollutants, to prevent the exacerbation of contaminant dispersion, particularly with arsenic. In a different context, shifting focus from aquatic bodies to snow, the transport of PAHs within snow cover was explored by Khaustov and Redina [188] at the campus of RUDN University, located in a relatively pristine sector of Moscow's southwest. Despite the general cleanliness of the area, it was found that atmospheric pollutants, particularly PAHs, were significantly deposited in this region, primarily due to vehicular emissions from major roadways and other anthropogenic activities.…”

This review paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on the contamination of water systems by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs, organic contaminants characterized by two or more fused aromatic rings, are notably problematic due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and significant health risks. The review commences with an examination of various sources of PAHs in aquatic environments, encompassing both anthropogenic activities, such as industrial discharges, urban runoff, and oil spills, and natural phenomena including volcanic eruptions and wildfires. Subsequently, the discussion shifts to the distribution patterns of PAHs within different aquatic ecosystems, with an analysis of factors that influence their transport. Considerable focus is placed on the entry mechanisms of PAHs into water systems and their interactions with diverse environmental matrices. Additionally, the ecotoxicological effects of PAHs on aquatic life are scrutinized, with particular emphasis on molecular, individual, and ecosystemic impacts. This includes an exploration of PAH bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms and their potential mutagenic and carcinogenic consequences. The review further addresses the challenges associated with detecting and quantifying PAHs in aquatic settings, reflecting on the advancements in analytical methodologies and the complexities introduced by their varied physicochemical properties. The paper concludes with a summary of existing regulatory frameworks and guidelines governing PAH contamination in water systems, underscoring the imperative for global collaboration in the monitoring and management of PAH pollution.
