Abstract

The study of the seasonal variability of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations in the Posiet Bay surface water has shown that the concentration of 13 PAHs in 2013 varied from 8.4 to 26.5 ng/l. The analysis was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The increasing of the PAH content during cold period was associated with the emissions of boiler houses and domestic heating systems. The calculation of the PAH isomeric ratios has demonstrated both petrogenic and pyrogenic origin of the PAHs in winter and spring. However in summer and autumn the PAHs were derived from combustion only.
