GC-MS analiza sadržaja policikličnih aromatičnih ugljovodnika u urbanom zemljištu grada Kruševca

Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are one of the most widespread groups of organic pollutants. They appear as products of combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. National Serbian Legislation defines 10 priority PAH that are most often detected in environmental samples, among which there are also proven carcinogenic representatives. A modified QuEChERS method was used to extract PAH from surface samples of urban soil. The content of 10 selected PAHs was determined by GC-MS analysis and based on the analysis it was determined that the PAH content is lower compared to other cities in the Republic of Serbia.
