“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent hazardous organic compounds that enter the environment during incomplete combustion of biomass (including peat fires) and fossil fuels, food cooking, and the leakage of crude oil, mineral oils and bitumen during their industrial use and transportation 1 – 4 . For this reason, PAHs are typical contaminants of the atmosphere and soils of urban areas 5 – 11 . Due to high mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic activity 12 , these compounds are included in the group of priority pollutants, which are most dangerous for human health and natural ecosystems.…”

Sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection in snow samples collected at 46 sites of Arkhangelsk as a world’s largest city above 64 degrees north latitude. The average, maximum and minimum PAH concentrations in snow were 168, 665, and 16 ng/kg, respectively. The average toxic equivalent value in benzo(a)pyrene units was 3.6 ng/kg, which is three-fold lower than the established maximum permissible concentration and considered an evidence of a low/moderate level of snow pollution with PAHs. The pollution origin was assessed using specific markers based on PAHs ratios in the studied samples. The pyrogenic sources of PAH emission were predominate, whereas the significant contributions from both transport and solid fuel combustion were observed. Benzo(a)pyrene concentrations are highly correlated with the levels of other PAHs with higher molecular weights.

“…[8]. The concentration range of the total PAHs (13 compounds) found in snow collected in the area of the city of Khabarovsk is in the range between 42.83 and 441.13 and 43.00-695.73 ng / L [3] Arkhangelsk is a large city in the north of Russia with a population of about 350 thousand people and a large number of vehicles (more than 144 thousand vehicles). It is the northernmost city in the world with so much population and transport, where snow cover persists for a long time.…”

The 13 priority PAHs were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed in snow samples collected at 46 the crossroads of a large city in northern Europe - Arkhangelsk. The HPLC analysis revealed that the range of Σ13PAH concentrations detected in snow. The average, maximum and minimum values were respectively 167.7; 664.5 and 16.0 ng / kg snow. The average toxic equivalent quantity varied is 3.6 ng / kg, which is three times less than the established maximum permissible concentration. The sources of pollution origin were assessed using PAHs markers. The urban agglomeration of Arkhangelsk is not contaminated with anthropogenic PAHs. The markers identified pyrogenic sources of emission. Regression analysis was carried out to find correlations between the presence of benzo(a)pyrene and other PAHs in snow samples. We found that benzo(a)pyrene has a very high correlation with high molecular weight PAHs and has no correlation with low molecular weight PAHs. The quality of the snow polluted is satisfactory.
