چکیده
The emerging mega city of Lahore has been progressing by leaps and bounds in lasttwo decades which is directly related to an immense increase number vehicles powergeneration systems using fossil fuels. present study entails the quantification evaluation ofpotential risk due Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) one known organicpollutants from vehicular, power generation system’s exhaust other industrial activities. Thesamples Total Suspended Particulate Matters (TSPM) were collected various urbanized sitespresent at Badami Bagh, Lahore, Pakistan for estimation polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Thetechnique used PAH’s was Gas Chromatography. concentration mean totalof PAH 746.60 ng/m3. Dibenzo(a,h) Anthracene found be highest of142.35 ng/m3 among all hydrocarbons under investigation.

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...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of complex substances that are produced during incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. PAHs are known to be persistent pollutants which can remain in nature for years. In 1991 during the first Persian Gulf War south west part of Iran was contaminated heavily. This study was undertaken to see if the PAHs can be traceable in animal tissues many...

متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Plants of Shadegan Wetland: Halocnemum strobilaceum and Suaeda maritima
Plants are known to bioaccumulate many contaminants. Petroleum-derived compounds, such as saturated hydrocarbons and PAHs are widespread persistent environmental contaminants. Deposition of soot and precipitation of black rain have occurred in the Shadegan Wetland. In this study, PAHs in plant parts of two prominent species of halophytes, Halocnemum strobilaceum and Suaeda maritima were determi...

Concentrations of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in livers of 81 adult female sea otters collected along the California coast in 1992-2002. Concentrations of summation operatorPAHs in livers of sea otters were in the range of 588-17400ng/g lipid wt (mean: 3880ng/g, lipid wt). On a wet weight basis, the concentrations ranged from 17 to 1430ng/g (mean: 146ng/g). Overall,...
