Abstract

Determination of some PAHs in sediments at Ulsan bay has been carried out by extraction of the components into n-hexane followed by synchronous spectrofluorimetric technique. 11 PAHs, such as acenaphthene (Ace), anthracene (Anth), benz(a)anthracene (BaA), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbFt), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkFt) benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), chrysene (Chry), phenanthrene (Phen), fluoranthene(Ft), perlyrene (Per), and pyrene (Pyr) in sediment samples were able to determine separately by synchronous spectrofluorimetry. Calibration curves for those components were linear for the concentration range of 0.15∼166 ppb PAHs with the correlation factor of 0.9985∼0.9999. The total amount of PAHs in sediments varied from 68.8 to 324.4 ng/g. The PAHs concentration was shown a tendency to increase from the outer bay to the inner basin as well the predominant contributors to the aromatic ring groups of the PAHs was 4-ring group.
