دراسة توزع المركبات الهيدروكربونية متعددة الحلقات العطرية (PAHs) في رسوبيات ومياه شاطئ مدينة طرطوس باستخدام تقانتي الاستخلاص والكروموتوغرافيا الغازية

Coastal waters from three sites and samples of tidal sediments from seven sites of Tartous city coast were collected during the period (1/6/2001-15/6/2002). The samples were extracted to determine their content of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) qualitatively and quantitively by using GC-FID technique. The concentration of (PAHs) ranged between nd and 264.9 ng/g (dry wt.). The highest concentration was reported in st3, while the lowest concentration was reported in St6. The values of (PAHs) reported in st4, st5, and st1 were lower than of the detected threshold. The concentration of (PAHs) ranged between nd and 139.3 ng/l. The highest concentration was reported in Aroad port and fishing port, while the lowest concentration was reported in the station opposite the discharging point Al-Hesein river.
