Abstract
The content of 17 individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was analyzed in samples of background and urban soils obtained during a geochemical survey of the territory of Ulan-Ude in the summer of 2022 for the first time. The average content of PAHs in the urban soils is 801 ng/g, which is more than 8.5 times higher than the level in background chestnut soils. The soil cover is contaminated primarily with medium- and high-molecular-weight PAHs. The proportions of individual PAHs in the soils of Ulan-Ude range within 4–11% at an average value of 6%. The urban soil cover is found to have ten high-contrast anomalies with the sum of PAHs ranging from 3162 to 10 189 ng/g. The principal component analysis and ratios of PAHs have made it possible to identify the main types of PAH sources and their contribution to urban soil pollution.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Earth Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in Earth science of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
