The differences in transformation mechanism in natural and anthropogenic PAH in environmental system

Full text : In present time, with the large reliability the established fact, that the majority of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons acting in an environment as from natural (fires, volcanic activity etc.) and from anthropogenesis (emissions of the industrial enterprises, the exhaust gases of automobiles etc.) sources, have carcinogenic activity. Toxicity and persistence of PAH and also their significant prevalence and their ability to be accumulated in an environment, cause necessity of the constant control most harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a various wide spectrum of natural matrixes - air, water, ground adjournment, ground, vegetative and animal fabrics and secretion, products of a meal. From natural sources creating a background level by PAH, is possible to note their synthesis from some plants and microorganisms, wood fires, volcanic activity and meteoric dust and etc. Anthropogenesis PAH pollution an environmental, the problem carries global character. PAH are formed as collateral products at processes of high-temperature processing of organic raw material, mainly, on oil refining, by-product-coking industry, aluminium manufactures. One of the basic sources of pollution PAH of an environment is the vehicle exhaust gases of automobiles are revealed more than 150 PAH. A significant role in PAH formation play aircraft and navigation. It is impossible to exclude an opportunity of pollution of an environment by components PAH, around and along transport pipelines. The reason to this can be oils outflow during transportation or clearing of pipelines. In the publications there is information on presence PAH in Absheron oils. But this information is not sufficient for PAI components specification. We carried out polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons research's in oils structure of Absheron peninsula. At the first were investigated the average oils samples, which have taken from Surakhani oilfield. In Surakhani oils were found the following PAH components (in mg/L): Naphthalene-269,65; Acenaphthene+Fluorene -10,71; Phenanthrene-167,27; Anthracene-2,47; Fluoranthene-170,76; Benzo (a) anthracene-10,61; Chrysene-66,59; Benzo (b) fluoranthene-25,65; Benzo (k) fluoranthene-3,22; Benzo (a) pyrene-0,49; Dibenzo (a, h) anthracene-18,68; Indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene-6,13. For comparison were investigated near 50 samples of oil polluted soils selected from oilfield sites and was determined background level of PAH around of oilfields in radius of 700-1000 m
