STUDY ON POLY AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHS) AND POLY CHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS) IN WASTE OIL SLUDGE AT ROADSIDE TRANSFORMERS, AGRA REGION (INDIA)MITALI SHARMA AND M.K. RAWATAbstract Methodology for the determination of Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Poly Chlorinated Biphenyl (PCBs) was used to investigate concentration in waste oil sludge at roadside transformers, Mathura-Agra region. The samples were extracted with n-hexane by ultrasonic agitation. Aromatic and chlorinated fraction analysis was performed by GC. Total mean concentration of PAHs was found to be 10.57 μg g-1. PAHs and ranged 2.83-24.85 μg g-1 and PCBs 17.14 μg kg-1. PCB congeners 52, 118, 180 and PAHs fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo (b) fluoranthene were found to be the most abundant.
