ABSTRACT: This research aims to investigate the pollution
characteristic of PAHs in Xiaodian sewage irrigation area. The result shows
that the concentrations ofPAHs range from 47.94 to 46432.85ng/g
while that of the total components of the 16 kinds of PAHs are 5969.81ng/g. PAHs with for
rings and more than 4 rings are the main and important pollutants in topsoils
of Xiaodian District. The main
input of PAHs is combustion source, and the main pollution source in this area
is fired coal. The topsoils in Xiaodian District are polluted by human activity
in varying degrees. 23 of all 31 topsoil samples have been heavily polluted, especially
those located nearby developed industrial townships and irrigation channels.
