Abstract

The concentration of PCBs in the soil of Bahrain has been determined using GC-ECD. PCBs were detected in only few of the samples analysed. In the contaminated soils, the concentrations of PCBs were in the range of 0.2 – 72.7 μg/g. These values were compared with published data from industrial countries. Soil samples collected from different parts of the country were also analysed for PAHs using GC-MS. The concentrations of the various PAHs fall within the range 0.01 – 42.58 μg/g. The samples collected from an aluminum smelter area showed the highest level of PAHs.
