Soil concentration of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons around the Petrochemical Plant in Płock in 1987-2006

Abstract: Soil concentration of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons around the Petrochemical Plant in Płock in [1987][1988][1989][1990][1991][1992][1993][1994][1995][1996][1997][1998][1999][2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006]. The Petrochemical Plant Orlen S.A. in Płock was constructed in the 1960s as one of the largest objects of this type in Europe. The facility was unfortunately located among agricultural areas. In the 1990s the plant implemented a number of investments aimed at lowering pollutant loads r… Show more

“…The close eastern vicinities of the power plants seemed to be less polluted, because the combustion products such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitric oxides (NO x ) and sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) (Chung-Yih et al 2005) and mercury (Blanvillain et al 2007) are deposited at a further distance from the source, infl uencing ecosystems situated kilometres away. For example in the case of the Płock refi nery (Karaczun et al 2008, Indeka et al 2009) the PAH content in soils was highest at 1 and 6 km distances, in an eastern direction, according to the prevailing winds.…”
