Abstract

Present study was designed to evaluate the concentration of pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and some pesticides in the lake water samples, collected from five selected locations of Broknes peninsula during 34th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (ISEA) in austral summer of 2014 to 2015. A total of 15 lake water samples were collected from the different five lakes. In these samples, 34 pesticides and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were estimated. Lake water samples were processed using a liquid-liquid method solvent extraction, cleaned-up and concentrated. The concentrated sample then injected into GC-MS/MS along with the standards and then quantitative analysis was performed. Pesticides residue levels found in lake water samples varied from 10.33 pg/mL to 70.00 pg/mL and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons levels were observed from 10.33 pg/mL to 50 pg/mL.
