Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soils from European High Mountain Areas
Original language description
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in 70 soils distributed in mountain areas such as Montseny (300-1,700 m), Pyrenees (1,500-2,900 m), Alps (1,100-2,500 m), and Tatras (1,400-1,960 m). Average total PAH concentrations, excluding reteneand perylene, were about 400 ng/g in the Pyrenees and 1,300-1,600 ng/g in the other mountain ranges. No correlations between PAH concentrations and total organic carbon were observed. Retene was the major PAH in the Pyrenean soils of lower altitude. Noaltitudinal dependence was found between soil PAH concentrations and elevation for the whole dataset. However, in the Tatra soils a statistically significant correlation with altitude was observed involving higher concentrations at higher altitude. Thiscorrelation was due to the statistically significant altitudinal dependence of the more volatile PAHs. Another observed altitudinal trend concerned the benz[a]anthracene/(benz[a]anthracene + chrysene + triphenylene) and the benzo[a]pyrene
