Latitudinal Transects and Quantitative Ecological Risk Assessments of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Terrestrial Soils of Pakistan and King George Island, Antarctica

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were carefully analyzed from terrestrial soils collected at numerous sites in Pakistan and King George Island (sub-Antarctica) and compared with other data around the world. The mean concentrations of An, Pyr, B[a]A, Chry, B[ b + k ]F, B[ a ]P, Ind, D[a,h]A, a...

Description
Summary:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were carefully analyzed from terrestrial soils collected at numerous sites in Pakistan and King George Island (sub-Antarctica) and compared with other data around the world. The mean concentrations of An, Pyr, B[a]A, Chry, B[ b + k ]F, B[ a ]P, Ind, D[a,h]A, and B[ g,h,i ]P of world terrestrial soils were significantly ( p
