Study on the Content of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
in the Water from the Industrial Area

Abstract:

This study has been performed to identify the degree of pollution with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the soil and water of the highly industrialized town, Targoviste, and its surroundings. This research represents the first stage of a larger project aiming at monitoring the PAHs during the entire food chain meant to obtain meat products starting with the feeding of the animals and ending with the obtaining of the finished products. The measurements will be realized using a modern methodology which will permit the establishing of low levels of PAS in the analyzed products. Many of them - the benzo [a] anthracene, the chrysene, the benzo [b] fluoranthene, the benzo [a] pyrene and the benzo [ghi] perylene- are known to be potentially carcinogenic for humans. Therefore, they have been included in the list of priorities of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC and, also, sixteen of them have been established by EPSA U.S. as major pollutants. Their distribution in the environment and the potential risks to human health, have attracted the public attention. There have been dosed 14 PAHs. The determinations have been made using a modern methodology that will allow the detection of the lowest levels of contaminants. For this purpose PAHs have been separated by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of water samples collected from areas surrounding the town. Keywords: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, HPLC, water, pollution, traceability
