چکیده

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are a group of organic compounds made up of two or more fused benzene rings in linear, angular or cluster arrangements. the pahs are formed by incomplete combustion or high temperature pyrolytic process involving organic matter. thirty sampling sites were selected to characterize the pahs concentrations in ambient air in tehran. sixteen pahs were measured simultaneously in particles phase of urban area in tehran’s atmosphere. in order to understand the distribution of pahs at tehran area, 1-year sampling program was undertaken. a geographic information system (gis) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing geographic phenomenon that exist and events that occur on earth. several efforts have been made for mapping pahs related pollution and determining pollution patterns in urban areas using gis. this study revealed that most concentration of cancerous pahs compounds was found in district 16 (950.47 ng/m3) and lowest concentration in district 2 (19.59 ng/m3).

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in drinking water of Tehran, Iran

Distribution and seasonal variation of sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the drinking water of Tehran, the capital of Iran. Detected single and total PAHs concentrations were in the range of 2.01-38.96 and 32.45-733.10 ng/L, respectively, which were quite high compared to the values recorded in other areas of the world. The average occurrence of PAHs ...

Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Petroleum Contaminated Soils

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of potentially hazardous chemicals of environmental and health concern. PAHs are one of the most prevalent groups of contaminants found in soil. Biodegradation of complex hydrocarbon usually requires the cooperation of more than single specie. In this research biotreatment of PAH (phenanthrene) was studied in a solid-phase reactor using indigenou...

Transport of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Calcareous Wetland Soil

Knowledge of transport and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is important in assessing PAH contamination of soils and water resources. The transport of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene was determined in a contaminated calcareous soil obtained from the Shadegan wetland (Khozestan, Iran) considering a column study in laboratory conditions. The PAHs were added ...

Capillary Electrochromatography: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Electrochromatography is utilized to separate a mixture of 16 different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Fused-silica capillary columns ranging in size from 50 to 150 pm i.d. were packed (20-40-cm sections) with 3-pm octadecylsilica particles. A potential of 15-30 kV is applied across the 30-50-cm total length capillary column to generate electroosmotic flow that carries the PAHs throug...
