Overview

Analysis reveals carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface water, suggesting potential health risks.

Key Points

  • Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in surface water samples, raising health concerns.
  • Concentrations of detected PAHs ranged from 4.22 to 19.80 µg/L, indicating variable contamination levels.
  • Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was used to analyze PAHs at twelve sampling points.
  • Although risks were below critical thresholds, continuous monitoring is necessary due to potential future contamination.
