Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the aquatic ecosystems of Soweto and Lenasia Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are fused benzene rings containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms. The aim of the study is to determine the concentrations and origins of the 16 priority PAHs, and the ecotoxicological effects they may have on the aquatic ecosystem and possible risk to the human population.
