Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 29, Issue 29

Abstract

The current study was conducted to determine Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmospheric total suspended particles (TSP) in Al- Diwaniyah city southern of Iraq. To achieve this, seven sites were identified in different location within the city. The results showed that the annual mean of PAHs concentrations ranged between non-detectable (ND) for Phen and BaA, and 2621.62 ng.m-3 for Chry. The findings showed that the annual mean of ∑11 PAHs reach 5031.44 ng.m-3. The results also showed that the human activities was the main sources of PAHs atmospheric pollution especially fossils fuel combustion for energy generation an transportation.
