Sledování obsahu polycyklických aromatických uhlovodíků ve vybraných lokalitách Sokolovské hnědouhelné pánve

Abstract

This diploma thesis focuses on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Sokolov brown coal basin, that belong to the group of persistent organic pollutants with a carcinogenic potential, such as the well known benzo[a]pyrene. I analyse the selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [naphthalene (NAP), fenantrene (FEN), anthracene (ANT), fluoranthene (FLA), pyrene (PYR), benzo[a]anthracene (BaA), Chrysene (CHR), Benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), Benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), Benzo[g,h,i]perylene (BGP), indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyren (INP) and the total sum of PAHs (∑PAHs)] in soil from the following areas of Sokolov region: Nejdek - dump, Karlovy Vary - Skalníkovy sady and Hoštěc - train crossover. High performance chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorescence detector (FLD) was applied for the laboratory analysis. The obtained values of PAHs were compared to legislation limits of Czech Republic.
