Abstract

In this work, the concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene in surface water of Shatt Al-Hilla river of Iraq were monitored for one year, starting from November 2011 to October 2012. The process was done by solid phase extraction and HPLC technique with UV-visible detector. Water samples were taken from 14 sites, these sites are selected according to the human activity which present on both banks of the Shatt Al-Hilla river. They showed high spatial variations in concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene from site to site. The highest concentration was 601.81 ppb in site six in November 2011, while in other sites were no detection for this compound. The accumulation concentration of benzo(a)pyrene in all sites during the study period was 871.69 ppb. In May 2012 the most appearance for this compound (eight sites of fourteen), while in months of December 2011, February 2012 and August 2012 were the lowest number of polluted sites (one site) for everyone.
