Distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Wuhan section of the Yangtze River, China 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important organic contaminants with great significance for China, where coal burning
is the main source of energy. In this study, concentrations, distribution between different phases, possible sources and eco-toxicological
effect of PAHs of the Yangtze River were assessed. PAHs in water, suspended particulate matters (SPM) and sediment samples
at seven main river sites, 23 tributary and lake sites of the Yangtze River at the Wuhan section were analyzed. The total
concentrations of PAHs in the studied area ranged from 0.242 to 6.235 μg/l in waters and from 31 to 4,812 μg/kg in sediment.
The average concentration of PAHs in SPM was 4,677 μg/kg, higher than that in sediment. Benzo(a)pyrene was detected only at
two stations, but the concentrations were above drinking water standard. The PAHs level of the Yangtze River was similar to
that of some other rivers in China but higher than some rivers in foreign countries. There existed a positive relationship
between PAHs concentrations and the TOC contents in sediment. The ratio of specific PAHs indicated that PAHs mainly came from
combustion process, such as coal and wood burning. PAHs may cause potential toxic effect but will not cause acute biological
effects in sedimentary environment of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River. 相似文献

The concentrations, distribution and sources of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in 30 agricultural
soil and 16 vegetable samples collected from subtropical Shunde area, an important manufacturing center in China. The total
PAHs ranged from 33.7 to 350 μg/kg in soils, and 82 to 1,258 μg/kg in vegetables. The most abundant individual PAHs are phenanthrene,
fluoranthene, chrysene, pyrene and benzo(b)fluoranthene for soil samples, and anthracene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene
and chrysene for vegetable samples. Average vegetable–soil ratios of total PAHs were 2.20 for leafy vegetables and 1.27 for
fruity vegetables. Total PAHs in vegetable samples are not significantly correlated to those in corresponding soil samples.
Principal component analyses were conducted to distinguish samples on basis of their distribution in each town, soil type
and vegetable specie. Relatively abundant soil PAHs were found in town Jun’an, Beijiao, Chencun, Lecong and Ronggui, while
abundant vegetable PAHs were observed in town Jun’an, Lecong, Xingtan, Daliang and Chenchun. The highest level of total PAHs
were found in vegetable soil, followed by pond sediment and “stacked soil” on pond banks. The PAHs contents in leafy vegetables
are higher than those in fruity vegetables. Some PAH compound ratios suggest the PAHs derived from incomplete combustion of
petroleum, coal and refuse from power generation and ceramic manufacturing, and paint spraying on furniture, as well as sewage
irrigation from textile industries. Soil PAHs contents have significant logarithmic correlation with total organic carbon,
which demonstrates the importance of soil organic matter as sorbent to prevent losses of PAHs. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface water and bed sediments of the Hungarian upper section of the Danube River 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study was performed to elucidate the distribution, concentration trend and possible source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface water and bed sediments of the Hungarian upper section of the Danube River and the Moson Danube branch. A total of 217 samples (water and sediments) were collected from four different sampling sites in the period of 2001–2010 and analysed for the 16 priority US Environmental Protection Agency PAHs. Concentrations of total 16 PAHs (∑PAHs) in water samples ranged from 25 to 1,208 ng/L, which were predominated by two- and three-ring PAHs. The ∑PAH concentrations in sediments ranged from 8.3 to 1,202.5 ng/g dry weight. Four-ring PAHs including fluoranthene and pyrene were the dominant species in sediment samples. A selected number of concentration ratios of specific PAH compounds were calculated to evaluate the possible sources of PAH contamination. The ratios reflected a pattern of pyrogenic input as a major source of PAHs. The levels of PAHs determined were compared with other sections of the Danube and other regions of the world. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analysed in 39 soil samples (0–10 cm upper layer) collected in Belgrade, the
capital of Serbia. The sampling sites were randomly selected from urban, urban/recreational and rural areas; the samples were
collected in April and December 2003 and July and October 2004.
The sum of the 16 PAHs corresponding to the recreational zone (298 μg/kg) was close to the urban zone (375 μg/kg). Mean soil
ΣPAH concentration from rural areas was 18 μg/kg dry weight. Comparing to values observed in the urbanized locations around
the world, the overall levels of PAHs in this study are low. The PAH ratios obtained pointed to a domination of pyrogenically
formed PAHs in the examined soils. The dominant PAHs in soil samples in urban zones were fluoranthene, benz[a]anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene, mostly emitted from noncatalyst vehicles which are still in use in Serbia. The total
carcinogenic potency for each sampling site was calculated. Regardless of the used carcinogenic activity factors, carcinogenic
potency of 7 sites were 3–9 times higher than the reference ones indicating the increased carcinogenic burden of soils from
these sites. 相似文献

The concentration, distribution, and origin of 16 USEPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in river sediments from the western and southern catchments of the Bohai Sea, China. A toxicity assessment of 28 sediment samples collected from 15 main rivers was conducted by utilizing threshold and probable effect concentrations (TEC and PEC, respectively) derived from consensus-based sediment quality guidelines. The concentrations of total PAHs (∑PAH16) ranged from 0.14 to 10,757 μg/kg dry weight (mean?=?1,368.6 μg/kg). The high concentrations of PAHs found in Binhai New Area of Tianjin and Binzhou City are likely the result of rapid population and heavy industry growth, resulting in elevated point and nonpoint source inputs of PAHs. Of the samples collected, samples 1 and 10 (7.1 % of the total) were categorized as toxic since some of the PAH concentrations exceeded the corresponding PECs. Twenty samples were classified as nontoxic, with both the individual PAH and the∑PAH16 concentrations falling below the corresponding TECs. Analyses of selected PAH isomer ratios aided in the identification of PAH origins, allowing for a discrimination between pyrogenic and petrogenic sources. Spatial variability confirmed source heterogeneity within the study area. The most significant PAH-associated contamination was found in the Beitang River and Ji Canal, which are located in Binhai New Area. The magnitude of contamination and the likelihood of an ongoing influx of PAHs support the need for a better understanding of pollution sources and methods for both control and sediment restoration. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) partitioning among dissolved phase, suspended particulate matter, pore water, and
sediment was studied in one moderately contaminated river (Yongding New River) and two highly contaminated drainage canals
(South Drainage Canal and North Drainage Canal) of Tianjin, China. PAHs concentrations in sediment (ranged from 0.2 to 195 μg/g)
showed positive relations with both total organic carbon contents (ranged from 0.7% to 31.1%, dw) and black carbon contents
(ranged from 0.1% to 2.1%, dw) in the sediments. Moreover, most of the measured organic carbon normalized partition coefficients
of PAHs in the three streams were 0.76 to 1.54 log units higher than the predicted values. These indicated that strong and
nonlinear sorption of PAHs by carbonaceous geosorbents such as black carbon (BC) existed in the streams, and BC was an important
part of the carbonaceous particles controlling the partitioning of PAHs in the sediments of this study. PAH component ratio
analyses suggested that PAHs in the three streams, effluent samples from wastewater treatment plants, and soil samples by
the riverbank had similar main sources, which is coal/petroleum combustion. We suggested the transportation and transformation
of both carbonaceous particles and PAHs during wastewater treatment process, surface runoff, etc, should be studied further
in order to make decisions on PAHs controlling measures. 相似文献

The purpose of this research work was to appraise extent of heavy metals in sediment and the degree to which its quality tainted
seasonally and spatially in river Cauvery. In this study, heavy metals such as Fe, Zn, Ni, Mn, Pb, Cu, Co, Cd and Cr were
analysed in sediments. Results were compared with sediment quality guidelines from various derived criteria. Twenty-five sampling
points were selected based on geographical proximity of agricultural fields and industrial discharges; river-tributary confluence
points; settlements located along the river bank; ritual and recreational activities. Sampling was done for the period of
3 years (2007 to 2009). Digestion of the samples was done by microwave-assisted digestion technique. Analysis was carried
out using flame furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and results are expressed in micrograms per gram. The mean concentration
of Fe (11144 μg/g) followed by Mn (1763.3 μg/g), Zn (93.1 μg/g), Cr (389 μg/g), Ni (27.7 μg/g), Cu (11.2 μg/g), Pb (4.3 μg/g),
Co (1.9 μg/g) and Cd (1.3 μg/g) remained within the levels of sediment quality guidelines. Multivariate statistical techniques
such as principal component analysis and cluster analysis (CA) were employed to better comprehend the controlling factors
of sediment quality and spatial homogeneity among the stations. The sediment geo-accumulation index (Igeo) showed maximum value of Cd (2.69) and least value of Mn (−1.44). The geo-accumulation class (Igeo class) was in the sequence as follows: Cd>Zn>Pb>Cr>Cu>Co>Ni>Fe>Mn. Negative total geo-accumulation indices (Itot) revealed that mean concentration of heavy metals in the river bed sediment are lower than their respective shale values.
The statistical analysis of inter-metallic relationship revealed the high degree of correlation among the metals indicated
their identical behaviour during transport. This study concludes that insignificant geo-accumulation with metals except Cd
(moderate contamination), Pb and Zn (slight contamination) principally in downstream stretch may perhaps deteriorate the sediment
quality due to intensification anthropogenic influences. It also proves that extent of existing metal concentrations in sediments
of river Cauvery in Karnataka not exceeded the toxic limit, and there is no peril to the aquatic life. 相似文献

Trace elements are essential for human health. However, excess concentrations of these elements cause health disorders. A
study has been carried out in Visakhapatnam environs, Andhra Pradesh, India to ascertain the causes for the origin and distribution
of iron content in the groundwaters. Fifty groundwater samples are collected and analyzed for iron. The content of iron ranges
from 400 to 780 μg/l. A comparison of groundwater data with rock and soil chemistry suggests that the concentration of iron
(400–530 μg/l) in the groundwaters is derived from the rocks and soils due to geogenic processes. This concentration is taken
as a natural occurrence of iron in the groundwaters of the study area for assessing the causes for its next higher content
(>530 μg/l). Relatively higher concentration of iron (540–550 μg/l) is observed at some well waters, where the wells are located
nearby municipal wastewaters, while the very high concentration of iron (610–780 μg/l) is observed in the industrially polluted
groundwater zones, indicating the impact of anthropogenic activities on the groundwater system. These activities mask the
concentration of iron caused by geogenic origin. Hence, both the geogenic and anthropogenic activities degrade the groundwater
quality. Drinking water standards indicate that the iron content in all the groundwater samples exceeds the permissible limit
(300 μg/l) recommended for drinking purpose, causing the health disorders. Necessity of close monitoring of groundwater quality
for assessing the impact of geogenic and anthropogenic sources with reference to land use/land cover activities is emphasized
in the present study area to protect the groundwater resources from the pollution. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to determine the possibility of using Rinodina sophodes (Ach.) Massal., a crustose lichen as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) bioaccumulator for evaluation of atmospheric
pollution in tropical areas of India, where few species of lichens are able to grow. PAHs were identified, quantified and
compared to evaluate the potential utility of R. sophodes. The limit of detection for different PAHs was found to be 0.008–0.050 μg g − 1. The total PAHs in different sites were ranged between 0.189 ± 0.029 and 0.494 ± 0.105 μg g − 1. The major sources of PAHs were combustion of organic materials, traffic and vehicular exhaust (diesel and gasoline engine).
Significantly higher concentration of acenaphthylene and phenanthrene indicates road traffic as major source of PAH pollution
in the city. Two-way ANOVA also confirms that all PAHs content showed significant differences between all sampling sites (P
1%). This study establishes the utility of R. sophodes in monitoring the PAHs accumulation potentiality for development of effective tool and explores the most potential traits
resistant to the hazardous environmental conditions in the tropical regions of north India, where no such other effective
way of biomonitoring is known so far. 相似文献

采用索氏提取气相色谱-质谱法测定中国6个重点水体表层沉积物中16种多环芳烃的含量。各化合物含量范围分别为长江6.20~163 ng/g、淮河7.90~249 ng/g、海河12.1~401 ng/g、松花江5.75~152 ng/g、太湖29.1~2 810 ng/g和滇池19.1~795ng/g;16种多环芳烃的总量分别为:长江1 147 ng/g、淮河1 723 ng/g、海河2 595 ng/g、松花江793 ng/g、太湖12472 ng/g、滇池3 714 ng/g,属中等污染水平。利用特征分子比值法分析结果表明6条水体表层沉积物中PAHs均可能以燃料(包括柴油、汽油、煤、木材)燃烧以及焦化污染为主。淮河和滇池还可能存在轻微石油泄漏污染。利用沉积物质量基准法(SQGs)和沉积物质量标准法分别对6条水体表层沉积物中多环芳烃的风险评估表明严重的多环芳烃生态风险在这些水体表层沉积物中不存在,但长江、淮河、松花江、海河均可能存在一定的潜在风险,负面生物毒性效应会偶尔发生,风险主要来源于荧蒽和菲。太湖和滇池水体中存在的潜在多环芳烃风险种类较多,风险主要来源于菲、荧蒽、芘、苯并(a)蒽、苊和蒽,对水生生物毒性效应较高,有必要进行更深入细致的调查研究高风险区域底栖生物的受损状况、污染来源和途径,以制定合理的污染控制对策。 相似文献

Surface sediment samples were collected in He-Ping Harbor and the nearby He-Ping Estuary from 2005 to 2006 to examine spatial
and temporal variability in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations. The sum of the 16 USEPA priority pollutant
PAHs varied from 8 to 312 ng/g dry weight, which was relatively low compared to values obtained from other studies in the
world. Regarding temporal changes in the PAH profile, total PAH concentrations in the wet season were lower than during the
dry season in He-Ping Harbor. However, the concentration of PAHs exhibited no significant difference in the four seasons in
the He-Ping Estuary. PAH concentrations in He-Ping Harbor were higher than those in the He-Ping Estuary. In comparison with
sediment quality guidelines, PAH concentrations of sediments in this study were lower than those outlined in the criteria,
which suggests no evident adverse biological effects due to PAHs around the He-Ping coast. Ratios of specific PAH compounds
calculated to assess the possible sources of PAHs reflect that PAHs in He-Ping Harbor may mainly be from pyrogenic coal combustion. 相似文献

Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in street soil dust from streets in Kumasi Metropolis in the Ashanti Region of the Republic of Ghana have been measured in this study. The concentrations of the various types of PAHs identified in this study are as follows: Naphthalene (m/e 128) – 41,700 μg/kg, Acenaphthylene (m/e 152) – 99,300 μg/kg, Acenaphthene (m/e 154) – 111,200 μg/kg, Fluorene (m/e 166) – 8,900 μg/kg, Carbazole (m/e 167) – 3,500 μg/kg, phenathrene (m/e 178) – 12,900 μg/kg, Anthracene (m/e 178) – 5,400 μg/kg, Fluoranthene (m/e 202) – 16,200 μg/kg, Pyrene (m/e 202) – 15,000 μg/kg, Benzo[a]anthracene (m/e 228) – 13,800 μg/kg, Chrysene (m/e 228) – 33,600 μg/kg, Benzo[k]fluoranthene (m/e 252) – 45,700 μg/kg, Benzo[a]pyrene (m/e 252) – 27,900 μg/kg, Perylene (m/e 252) – 57,200 μg/kg and Benzo[g, h, i]perylene (m/e 276) – 47,000 μg/kg. The results of the study shows that road users, like resident living in buildings within these areas, those engaged in commercial activities like hawking, and the general public are at risk of exposure to the toxic effects of the various types of PAHs from the exhaust of vehicles into the environment. According to these results, there is the potential for exposure to high levels of PAHs for road users and those living in urban environments or along highways. 相似文献

Seasonal variation of the concentrations of trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured by ICP-AES
in the water and sediment from the Saricay Stream, Geyik Dam and Ortakoy Well in the same basin. Comparisons between trace
metal concentrations in water and sediment in three sources (Stream, Dam and Well) were made. The concentrations of a large
number of trace metals in the water and sediment were generally higher in the Stream than in the Well and Dam, particularly
in summer. Trace metal concentration ranges in sediments of the Saricay Stream and its sources showed very wide ranges (as
mass ratio): Co: 5–476 μg g−1, Cr: 15–1308 μg g−1, Cu: 7–128 μg g−1, Fe: 1120–13210 μg g−1, Mn: 150–2613 μg g−1, Ni: 102–390 μg g−1, Pb: 0.7–31.3 μg g−1 and Zn: 18–304 μg g−1, whereas Cd was not detected. Trace metal concentration ranges found in waters were: Co: 9.5–20.7 μg L−1, Cr: 20.3–284 μg L−1, Cu: 170–840 μg L−1, Fe: 176–1830 μg L−1, Mn: 29.3–387 μg L−1, and Ni: 4.3–21.9 μg L−1. Among the trace metals studied, Cd and Zn in two seasons and Pb in winter were usually not detected or in the recommended
levels. In addition, Cd was not detected in the sediment during the winter season. The analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA)
and correlation matrix was employed for the sediment and water samples of the two field surveys (summer and winter) comparison.
The three sources showed differences in metal contents. The metal levels in sediments displayed marked seasonal and regional
variations, which were attributed to anthropogenic influences and natural processes. In the Saricay Stream, high values of
metals during the dry season showed an anthropological effect from small industry firms, e.g.: an olive mill and a dairy farm
or water dilution during summer seasons. Finally, the pollution in this basin probably originated from small industrial, low
quality coal-burned thermal power plants, and particularly agricultural and domestic waste discharges. 相似文献

The Distribution and Sources of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Surface Sediments Along the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Coastal marine sediment samples were collected from 31 sampling stations along the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea coast. All sediment
samples were analyzed to determine aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as well as total organic carbon (TOC)
contents and grain size analysis. Total concentrations of 16 EPA-PAHs in the sediments were varied from 88 to 6338 ng g−1 with an average value of 154 ng g−1 (dry weight). However, the concentrations of total aliphatic were varied from 1.3 to 69.9 ng g−1 with an average value of 15.6 ng g−1 (dry weight). The highest contents of PAHs were found in the Eastern harbor (6338 ng g−1), Manzala (5206 ng g−1) and El-Jamil East (4895 ng g−1) locations. Good correlations observed between a certain numbers of PAH concentrations allowed to identify its origin. The
average total organic carbon (TOC) percent was varied from 0.91 to 4.54%. Higher concentration of total pyrolytic hydrocarbons
(∑COMB) than total fossil hydrocarbons (∑PHE) declared that atmospheric fall-out is the significant source of PAHs to marine
sediments of the Egyptian Mediterranean coast. The selected marked compounds, a principal component analysis (PCA) and special
PAHs compound ratios (phenanthrene/anthracene vs fluoranthene/pyrene; ∑COMB/∑EPA-PAHs) suggest the pyrogenic origins, especially
traffic exhausts, are the dominant sources of PAHs in most locations. Interferences of rather petrogenic and pyrolytic PAH
contaminations were noticed in the harbors due to petroleum products deliveries and fuel combustion emissions from the ships
staying alongside the quays. 相似文献

The main objective of this study was to investigate the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in inter-tidal
sediments of the Kenting coast, Taiwan, to assess the levels and origin of PAHs, and to provide useful information on the
potential ecological risk of PAHs to benthic organisms. The total concentrations of 38 PAHs ranged from 0.2 to 493 ng/g dry
weight. The high variation in total PAH concentrations was caused by the sand content of the sediment in the area. Compared
with other coasts and bays in the world, the concentrations of PAHs in the inter-tidal surface sediment of the Kenting coast
is low to moderate. Based on the sediment quality guidelines, the total PAH concentrations were below the effects range low
value, indicating that the PAH levels in the Kenting area were within minimal effects ranges for benthic organisms. Principal
component analysis and isomer ratios were analyzed to identify the contamination source in the inter-tidal surface sediment
of the Kenting coast. The results of compounds’ pattern and origin analysis suggest that the source of PAHs in the inter-tidal
surface sediment of the Kenting coast is the combustion of petroleum and biomass. 相似文献

Seasonal aerosol samples have been collected by Andersen Hi-Vol pumping system equipped with a five stage cascade impactor
and a backup filter (size range: 10–7.2 μ m, 7.2–3.0 μ m, 3.0–1.5 μ m, 1.5–0.95 μ m, 0.95–0.49 μ m, ≤0.49 μ m) in the Liwan
district, Guangzhou. n-Alkanes were measured using gas chromatography and PAHs were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis.
The bimodal log-normal distributions of n-alkanes and semi-volatile PAHs were found, while for non-volatile PAHs that was unimodal, so much as the mode of semi-volatile
PAHs was similar with that of the particles. The n-alkanes and PAHs were preferably associated with fine particles. C
max (carbon number maximum) (C22–C26), CPI (carbon preference index) (1.12–1.21), U/R (unresolved to resolved components ratio) (7.42–10.7), wax% (0.9–3.12%)
and the diagnostic ratios for PAHs revealed that vehicular emission was the major source of these organic compounds during
the study periods, while the contribution of epicuticular waxes emitted by terrestrial plants was minor. CPI2 (values for petrogenic hydrocarbons), CPI3 (values for biogenic n-alkanes) and wax% revealed that the natural preferentially accumulated in the larger aerosol while the anthropogenic in the
smaller. In addition, the different MMDs (mass median diameters) for n-alkanes and PAHs were observed in different seasons. The MMDs for n-alkanes and PAHs were higher in autumn/winter than those in spring/summer. The seasonal effect was related to the hydrocarbon
content in the individual particulate fractions, showing a preferential association of n-alkanes and PAHs with larger particles in the autumn/winter season. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water, sediment and soil of the Songhua River Basin, China 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The Songhua River is the third largest river in China and the primary source of drinking and irrigation water for northeastern China. The distribution of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water [dissolved water (DW) and suspended particulate matter (SPM)], sediment, and soil in the river basin was investigated, and the associated risk of cancer from these PAHs was also assessed. The total concentration of PAHs ranged from 13.9 to 161 ng L?1 in DW, 9.21 to 83.1 ng L?1 in SPM, 20.5 to 632 ng g?1 dw (dry weight) in sediment, and from 30.1 to 870 ng g?1 dw in soil. The compositional pattern of PAHs indicated that three-ring PAHs were predominant in DW and SPM samples, while four-ring PAHs dominated in sediment and soil samples. The spatial distribution of PAHs revealed some site-specific sources along the river, with principal component analysis indicating that these were from pyrogenic sources (such as coal and biomass combustion, and vehicle emissions) and coke oven emission distinguished as the main source of PAHs in the Songhua River Basin. Based on the ingestion of PAH-contaminated drinking water from the Songhua River, cancer risk was quantitatively estimated by combining the Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk assessment model and BaP-equivalent concentration for five age groups of people (adults, teenagers, children, toddlers, and infants). Overall, the results suggest that the estimated integrated lifetime cancer risk for all groups was in acceptable levels. This study is the first attempt to provide information on the cancer risk of PAHs in drinking water from the Songhua River. 相似文献

Receptor modeling for source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urban atmosphere 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study reports source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in particulate depositions on vegetation
foliages near highway in the urban environment of Lucknow city (India) using the principal components analysis/absolute principal
components scores (PCA/APCS) receptor modeling approach. The multivariate method enables identification of major PAHs sources
along with their quantitative contributions with respect to individual PAH. The PCA identified three major sources of PAHs
viz. combustion, vehicular emissions, and diesel based activities. The PCA/APCS receptor modeling approach revealed that the
combustion sources (natural gas, wood, coal/coke, biomass) contributed 19–97% of various PAHs, vehicular emissions 0–70%,
diesel based sources 0–81% and other miscellaneous sources 0–20% of different PAHs. The contributions of major pyrolytic and
petrogenic sources to the total PAHs were 56 and 42%, respectively. Further, the combustion related sources contribute major
fraction of the carcinogenic PAHs in the study area. High correlation coefficient (R
2 > 0.75 for most PAHs) between the measured and predicted concentrations of PAHs suggests for the applicability of the PCA/APCS
receptor modeling approach for estimation of source contribution to the PAHs in particulates. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils from Urumqi, China: distribution, source contributions, and potential health risks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Concentrations of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in 28 surface soils samples collected from Urumqi, northwest China, for examination of distributions, source contributions, and potential health effects. The results indicated that the sum of 16 PAHs concentration ranged from 331 to 15,799 μg?kg?1 (dw) in soils, with a mean of 5,018?±?4,896 μg?kg?1 (n?=?28). The sum of seven carPAHs concentration ranged from 4 to 1,879 μg?kg?1 (dw; n?=?28). The highest ∑PAHs concentrations were found at roadsides and industrial sites, followed by those at parks, rural areas, and business/residential areas. Coal combustion, emission of diesel and gasoline from vehicles, and petroleum source were four sources of PAHs as determined by PMF analysis, which contributed 51.19, 19.02, 18.35, and 11.42 % to the PAH sources, respectively. Excellent coefficients of correlation between the measured and predicted PAHs concentrations suggested that the PMF model was very effective to estimate sources of PAHs in soils. Incremental lifetime cancer risk values at the 95th percentile due to human exposure to surface soils PAHs in Urumqi were 2.02?×?10?6 for children and 2.72?×?10?5 for adults. The results suggested that the current PAHs levels in soils from Urumqi were pervasive and moderately carcinogenic to children and adults. 相似文献
