Abstract

In this study, the monthly variations for the concentrations of benzo[a]anthracne [C18H12] in surface water of Shatt Al-Hilla, mid of Iraq were monitored for one year, starting from November 2011 to October 2012. The process was done by using solid phase extraction through HPLC technique with UV-visible detector. Selected samples were taken from fourteen sites on both banks of the studied river. The results showed high spatial variations in concentrations of benzo[a]anthracene and from month to month depending on human activities. The highest concentration of benzo[a]anthracene was detected in site five in November 2011. The accumulation concentration of benzo[a]anthracene in all sites during the study period was 1280.11 ppb.
