Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine snow aggregates

Marine snow aggregates were collected from the mesocosm tanks. The concentrations of 16 EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) namely; Naphthalene (Nap), Acenaphthylene (Acy), Acenaphthene (Ace), Fluorene (Flu), Phenanthrene (Phe), Anthracene (Ant), Fluoranthene (Flt), Pyrene (Pyr), Benzo[a]anthracene(BaA), Chrysene (Chr), Benz[b]fluranthene (BbF), Benz[k] fluoranthene (BkF), Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (Ind), Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (Dba), and Benz[g,h,i]perylene (BghiP), were determined.
