Abstract: | "The Yellow River Delta (YRD) is a typical agricultural and petrochemical industrial area in China. To assess the current status of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of soil residues, soil samples (0-15 cm) (n = 82) were collected in Bincheng District, at the geographic center of the YRD. Concentrations of 16 PAHs ( summation operatorPAHs) ranged from 181.1 to 2176.0 mug kg(-1), with an average concentration of 359.8 mug kg(-1), showing significant increase along a rural-urban gradient (p |
