“…In the sludge used in this experiment, the total PAHs content was 5713 µg kg −1 (±428 µg kg −1 ) ( Table I) and, as opposed to the soil, had a considerably high content of 3 and 6-ring PAHs. The introduction of sludge into the soil resulted in an increase of the PAH content therein Oleszczuk and Baran, 2005c). During the whole study period, continuous variations in the content of the compounds studies were observed (Figure 2a).…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the uptake of 16 PAHs by willow (Salix viminalis) from soil amended with contaminated sewage sludge. Uptake experiments were conducted on field plots using sludge applications of 0, 30, 75, 150, 300, and 600 Mg ha −1 . The total PAH content of control soil and sludge were 49.6 µg kg −1 and 5713 µg kg −1 , respectively. The concentrations for the 16 PAHs listed as priority pollutants were measured for soil and plant tissue samples obtained at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 years. Soil total PAH content decreased significantly within the first half year, followed by minimal changes over the subsequent three years of treatment. PAH analysis was carried out on a HPLC-UV. Total PAH content in control plants was 3.6-7.3 µg kg −1 for shoots and 13-27 µg kg −1 for leaves. Treated plant tissue content was higher with shoots and leaves containing ∼5.5-17.6 and 13.5-33.8 µg kg −1 , respectively. Plant total PAH content did not show a significant trend relative to controls with respect to time. However, uptake did increase in relation to an increased sludge application. Bioconcentration factors (BCF), adjusted by control values, were calculated for total PAH content. BCF values were highest for the initial sampling (6 months) and did not show a significant temporal relationship. BCF values did decrease with increasing sludge application. With respect to individual PAHs, elevated plant tissue concentrations were measured for "light" PAH (e.g. naphthalene, phenanthrene, acenaphthalene) with leaf BCF values correlated with solubility and organic partitioning coefficients.

“…Some are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic to humans (Cerniglia 1993) and are known to persist in the environment. The presence of PAHs can be found in numerous elements within the natural environment (water, soil, sediments) (Baran et al 2002;Baran, Bielińska, and Oleszczuk 2004;Oleszczuk and Baran 2005a;Oleszczuk and Baran 2005b). However, it has been evaluated (Paterson and Mackay 1989) that the main PAH sink is the soil.…”

The objective of the present study was to determine the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the rhizospheres of some selected plant species (Cucumis dativus, Daucus carota, Allium cepa, Cueurbita, Petroselinum sativum, Cucurbitaceae, Phaseolus vulgaris, Beta vulgaris, Apium graveolens, Allium porrum, Vicia faba). Various anthropogenic influences on the PAH content in the rhizospheres of the three species selected were also studied. The PAH content was determined using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with ultraviolet (UV) detection after a preliminary sample treatment with ultrasonic techniques. On the basis of the PAH content, the organic carbon content and the value of log K oc , a potentially bioavailable PAH fraction present in the rhizospheres of the plants studied, were calculated.The lowest content of the PAH sum (,1100 mg/kg) was found in the Petroselinum sativum, Cucurbitaceae, and Allium porrum rhizospheres. The content of the compounds studied was more than 67% lower than in the control soil (3307 mg/kg). Moreover, in the rhizosphere of the Allium porrum, the lowest content of all the five-and six-ring PAH samples studied was found. The contribution of the 16 PAHs' sum, determined on the basis of an equilibrium partition in all rhizospheres studied, was higher than in the control soil. The evaluation of the PAH content in the rhizospheres of the three plants as related to the influence of anthropogenic sources showed a higher PAH content in them than

In this paper, we discuss the effect sewage sludge (SS) application has on the contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in fertilized soils and groundwater. Morver, the contents of these compounds in plant biomass was analyzed. For six months, composted sewage sludge was introduced into sandy soil. The research was conducted under lysimetric experiment conditions with the possibility of collecting soil leachate in natural conditions. The following doses of sewage sludge were used: 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 t/ha calculated per experimental object containing 10 kg of sandy soil. The examinations were carried out within a three-year time frame. Dactylis glomerata grass was grown on the fertilized soils. Every year, the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was collected from fertilized objects and analyzed in soil leachate, which can contaminate surface water. The following six polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons defined by Polish standards were determined: benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene. Further, the content of PAHs in soils and the bioaccumulation of these compounds in cultivated plants were evaluated after each year. The results of the study showed that the increase in the dose of sewage sludge used for soil fertilization led to the rise in the amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons analyzed in the soil. The compounds migrated to cultivated plants. This phenomenon was observed especially in the first year following soil fertilization with sewage sludge. Excessive accumulation of PAHs (especially benzo(a)pyrene) was observed in plant biomass in the first year of a lysimetric experiment after sewage sludge fertilization with doses greater than 10 t/ha. The increase in bioaccumulation of this compound in plant biomass compared to control objects was 138%, 288%, and 505% after application of 20, 30, and 40 t/ha, respectively. Fertilization with sewage sludge did not cause contamination with PAHs in water leachates from the soils.
