Abstract:Concentrations of 26 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) including EPA 16 priority PAHs were determined in forty surface soils from traffic areas and control green spaces in Wuhu, China. Black carbon (BC) was also quantified by both methods of chemical oxidation (dichromate, BCCr) and chemo-thermal oxidation (CTO-375, BCCTO). The distribution characteristics, affected areas of, and relationship between PAHs and BC were discussed. Besides, the sources of PAHs in the soil were analyzed by using the compositional analysis positional analysis, methyl phenanthrene index, and positive matrix factorization (PMF) model. The results showed that concentrations of PAHs, BCCr and BCCTOranged from 0.075 to 28.76μg/g, 3.78 to 27.13g/kg, and 1.07 to 10.36g/kg, respectively. Concentrations of PAHs and BCs in the soil decreased with the distance from the road. There existed a clear trend in concentrations of PAHs and BCs:important traffic nodes≈intersections > main roads≈feeder roads > greenbelts. The traffic flow was not the dominated factor for the concentrations in the traffic areas, while the running state of the vehicle was the key factor. 4~6 rings PAHs, as expected, dominated in surface soil of traffic areas. Concentrations of PAHs in the surface soil of traffic area were significantly correlated with BCCr and BCCTO rather than TOC, and those in the surface soil of greenbelts had no significant correlation with TOC, BCCr and BCCTO. It was showed that BC had an important influence on the accumulation of PAHs in the soil, but was interfered by other factors. In addition, the PAHs in the soil samples mainly originated from the transportation source.
