چکیده

the major sources of pahs are anthropogenic. these may be generated by pyrolytic and petrogenic processes. low molecular weight pahs come into the aquatic system through the accidentally leakage of oil spills. incomplete combustion at high temperature will release high molecular weight pahs by products of pyrolytic processes. the methods for assigning sources of pahs include paired isomeric ratios. in this study, the ratios of low molecular weight/high molecular weight, phenanthrene /anthracene, fluoranthene/pyrene and benzo(a)anthracene/chrysene were used to recognize the sources of pahs. so in october 2009, 3 locations were selected from mousa inlet in the persian gulf (jafari, ghanam and ahmadi). sampling of sea water, phytoplanktons, zooplanktons, and two types of fish, mullet (liza abu), and sea bream (acanthopagrus latus) were done. samples were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) equipped with uv detector. the ratios showed that pahs in this area originated from both pyrolytic and petrogenic inputs, predominantly from pyrolytic origin.

Assessment of Sources and Health Risks of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Street Dust of Dezful City

Street dust is mainly affected by the pollution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are a group of organic pollutants consisting of two or more benzene rings and are mainly produced during incomplete combustion. PAHs have attracted widespread attention due to their high carcinogenic and mutagenic properties in humans. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the sour...

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by Pseudomonas species

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, toxic compounds widely distributed in the environment by bacteria, is a cheap and safe cleaning up method. The present study attempts to isolate and characterize dioxygenase-producing bacteria which are able to degrade phenanthrene and pyrene from refinery soils. It also aims to assess in vitro biodegradation. To do so, two contaminated soil s...

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...
