Analyses of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and mutagenicity in raw and chlorinated water

Both raw water and chlorinated drinking water samples were collected from and the Liu‐Du water treatment plant in northern Taiwan from October 1990 to April 1992. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and mutagenicity in these water samples were analyzed by GC/MS and Ames test. The Mutagenicity/DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) ratio in S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with or without S9 mixture increased, even higher than 2, following the sequence of unit process. It was observed that the mutagenicity with TA98 (S9+) was highly related to most of PAHs in the raw water; while the mutagenicity with TA98 (S9+) was only correlated with DbA and BghiPr in the treated water. It could be expected that the mutagenicity level was controlled by other predominant components after the raw water was treated, for example, the chlorination process.     

Multiphase redistribution differences of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) between two successive sediment suspensions

Successive sediment suspensions often happen in estuary, yet little research has probed into the difference in the release behaviors of organic compounds among different suspensions. This study took polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as typical organic contaminants and investigated the release behaviors between two successive suspensions with a particle entrainment simulator (PES). Results showed that successive sediment suspensions lowered the concentration of dissolved PAHs in the overlying water via facilitating the re-adsorption of dissolved PAHs onto the suspended particles. Fast-release and slow-release periods of PAHs were successively observed in the both suspensions. The concentration changes of dissolved PAHs in the second suspension were generally similar with but hysteretic to those in the first suspension. More vigorous desorption and re-absorption of PAHs were induced in the second suspension. Successive sediment suspensions obviously decreased the concentrations of mineral composition and organic matters in the overlying water, which significantly affects multiphase distribution of PAHs.

Sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments of the Biobio River in south central Chile

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment; there are concerns about them due to their toxic properties. Human activities could significantly contribute to the total PAH burden in river sediments. In this work, we document the analysis of PAHs in sediments taken in the middle stretch of the Biobio River in south central Chile. This river is a principal system, draining more than 24,000 km² and subjected to a diverse variety of human-made stressors (pulp mill and urban effluents, agricultural drainage systems, etc). During 2003, several sediment samples were taken in more than 45 sampling sites located in the river’s middle stretch. Due to the granulometric characteristics (mainly sandy sediments), only 17 samples were analyzed, taking into consideration the presence of a fine section within the sediment sample. Using HPLC with fluorescence detection, 15 EPA priority PAHs and perylene were analyzed. The composition of PAHs in the sediment samples is rather similar between sites and levels averaged 104 ± 78 ng g⁻¹ d.w. The highest levels were detected downstream from an industrial discharge. A good correlation was observed between PAH levels and organic carbon content in the tested sediments; however, concentrations above 134 ng g⁻¹ d.w. did not indicate correlation. The samples PAH ratios (Flu/Pyr and Chr/B(a)A) reveal a strong pyrolytic PAH pattern in the sediments tested, supporting evidence indicating that PAHs come mainly from pyrolytic sources. This result contrasts with previous records that have shown a natural influence in the upper basin and a petrogenic pattern near the mouth.     

Distribution,source apportionment and health risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in intertidal sediment of Asaluyeh,Persian Gulf

Surface sediment samples were collected from intertidal zone of Asaluyeh, Persian Gulf, to investigate distribution, sources and health risk of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Total PAH concentrations ranged from 1.8 to 81.2 μg kg^?1 dry weight, which can be categorized as low level of pollution. Qualitative and quantitative assessments showed that PAHs originated from both petrogenic and pyrogenic sources with slight pyrogenic dominance. Source apportionment using principal component analysis indicated that the main sources of PAHs were fossil fuel combustion (33.59%), traffic-related PAHs (32.77%), biomass and coal combustion (18.54%) and petrogenic PAHs (9.31%). According to the results from the sediment quality guidelines, mean effects range-median quotient (M-ERM-Q) and benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalents (BaP_eq), low negative ecological risks related to PAH compounds would occur in the intertidal zone of Asaluyeh. The total benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) toxic equivalent quotient (TEQ^carc) for carcinogenic compounds ranged from 0.01 to 7 μg kg^?1-BaP_eq, indicating low carcinogenic risk. The human health risk assessment of PAH compounds via ingestion and dermal pathways suggests low and moderate potential risk to human health, respectively.

Impact of hydraulic loading on removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from vertical-flow wetland

The effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) removal on lab-simulated vertical wetland systems, each containing eight dominant species, under continuous- and intermittent-flow feeding modes, were determined. The main results were: (1) PAHs removal effect was greater in intermittent-flow system than in continuous-flow system, with the exception of the floating plant Hydrilla verticillata wetland. This may be due to pollutants remaining stable for longer duration under intermittent-flow mode, which is conducive to microbial, plant, and water absorption of PAHs, as well as to microbial decomposition and absorption by plant roots; (2) absorption and degradation rates of PAHs varied among wetland body plants in different periods with removal efficiencies of 30%–70% observed following the first and fifth cycles, and under high-performance degradation conditions; (3) mean removal rates of PAHs by hydrophytes under continuous-flow mode were as follows: H. verticillata (34.4%), Arundo donax (Gramineae) (33.2%), Phragmites australis (28.7%), Ipomoea aquatica Forsk (Convolvulaceae) (28.5%), Zizania aquatic (27.6%), Calla palustris (Araceae) (27.2%), Acorus calamus (26.8%), and Hardy canna (17.9%); (4) average rates of PAHs removal by hydrophyte under intermittent-flow mode were as follows: A. donax (40.5%), Z. aquatic (37.9%), A. calamus (37.0%), P. australis (36.9%), Hardy canna (34.6%), C. palustris (33.9%), I. aquatica (31.2%), and H. verticillata (29.3%).

Enrichment and transfer of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through dust aerosol generation from soil to the air

● Compositional patterns of PAHs in dust aerosol vary from soil during dust generation. ● The EF of PAH in dust aerosol is affected by soil texture and soil PAH concentration. ● The sizes of dust aerosol play an important role in the enrichment of HMW-PAHs. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major organic pollutants in soil. It is known that they are released to the atmosphere by wind via dust aerosol generation. However, it remains unclear how these pollutants are transferred through the air/soil interface. In this study, dust aerosols were generated in the laboratory using soils (sandy loam and loam) with various physicochemical properties. The PAH concentrations of these soils and their generated dust aerosol were measured, showing that the enrichment factors (EFs) of PAHs were affected by soil texture, PAH contamination level, molecular weight of PAH species and aerosol sizes. The PAHs with higher EFs (6.24–123.35 in dust PM_2.5; 7.02–47.65 in dust PM₁₀) usually had high molecular weights with more than four aromatic rings. In addition, the positive correlation between EFs of PAHs and the total OC_aerosol content of dust aerosol in different particle sizes was also statistically significant (r = 0.440, P < 0.05). This work provides insights into the relationship between atmospheric PAHs and the contaminated soils and the transfer process of PAHs through the soil-air interface.     

The application of solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) to the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

There are many established extraction techniques regularly used in the isolation and analysis of PAHs and similar organic compounds from various phases. These include Soxhlet or ultrasonic extractions from solids, and liquid-liquid or solid-phase extraction from aqueous samples. However, these methods have some inherent disadvantages; most require large volumes of organic solvents, they can be time consuming and many involve multi-step processes that always present the risk of the loss of some analytes (Zhang et al., 1994). Solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) is a relatively new technique that has been used with much success in the analysis of a variety of compounds including PAHs. Experiments are being carried out to determine the optimum range of conditions for the extraction of a range of PAHs. Parameters under investigation include temperature, equilibration time, salinity and compound concentration. Presented here are some preliminary experiments into the applicability of SPME for PAH analysis. Further work will investigate the reproducibility of the technique, limits of detection and matrix effects. When an optimised method has been developed the technique will be used in investigations into PAH profiles in sediment cores.     

Concentrations,input prediction and probabilistic biological risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) along Gujarat coastline

A comprehensive investigation was conducted in order to assess the levels of PAHs, their input prediction and potential risks to bacterial abundance and human health along Gujarat coastline. A total of 40 sediment samples were collected at quarterly intervals within a year from two contaminated sites—Alang-Sosiya Shipbreaking Yard (ASSBRY) and Navlakhi Port (NAV), situated at Gulf of Khambhat and Gulf of Kutch, respectively. The concentration of ΣPAHs ranged from 408.00 to 54240.45 ng g^?1 dw, indicating heavy pollution of PAHs at both the contaminated sites. Furthermore, isomeric ratios and principal component analysis have revealed that inputs of PAHs at both contaminated sites were mixed-pyrogenic and petrogenic. Pearson co-relation test and regression analysis have disclosed Nap, Acel and Phe as major predictors for bacterial abundance at both contaminated sites. Significantly, cancer risk assessment of the PAHs has been exercised based on incremental lifetime cancer risks. Overall, index of cancer risk of PAHs for ASSBRY and NAV ranged from 4.11 × 10^?6–2.11 × 10^?5 and 9.08 × 10^?6–4.50 × 10^?3 indicating higher cancer risk at NAV compared to ASSBRY. The present findings provide baseline information that may help in developing advanced bioremediation and bioleaching strategies to minimize biological risk.
