Abstract:The concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) of nine water samples, collected in the Jiulong River Estuary in December, 2011, were analyzed using the SPE-GC-MS method. The results showed that the concentration range of total dissolved PAHs(ΣPAHs) was from 157.9 to 858.0 ng/L. The horizontal distribution illustrated that the concentration of ΣPAHs decreased as salinity increased. Based on ratio analysis, PAHs have complicated sources. A Level Ⅲ fugacity model was developed to simulate the multimedia fate of PAHs and to study the air-water exchange fluxes of three PAHs(phenanthrene, pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene) in the Jiulong River Estuary. The calculated concentration of PAHs was similar to that measured in this study or reported in earlier literature. At 16℃, the net atmosphere deposition fluxes of these PAHs were 17.38, 7.86 and 8.38μg/day/m2. Phenanthrene was predominant in the atmospheric deposition. The net atmospheric deposition fluxes of these PAHs all decreased with temperature. When the temperature was above 32.0℃, benzo[a]pyrene was released from the water into the air.
