Online published on 27 November, 2019. Abstract In this study, two of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in water samples of the Arvand and Bahmanshir rivers in Iran. High performance liquid chromatography with Solid phase extraction (HPLC-SPE) was used to analyze the PAHs in warwe. Our results show that the average concentration of benzo (α) pyrene and anthracene in the outlet of the rivers is lower than the permissible amount as compared to the WHO standard. Top Keywords Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), water samples, solid phase extraction. Top |
