Content, Distribution, Source Analysis, and Risk Assessment of PAHs in Arable Soils of Taiyuan

PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) accumulated in arable soils have significant impacts on farmland quality and human health, which has attracted wide attention from scientists and the public. A total of 22 arable soil samples were collected from Taiyuan, an old industrial city, including three districts (industrial zones, hilly areas, and sewage irrigation area), and the contents of 21 PAHs were detected using the GC-MS method. The sources of PAHs in soils were analyzed using the diagnostic ratios (DRs) method and positive matrix factorization (PMF) model, and the soil health risks were analyzed using the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) model. The results indicated that the average concentrations of Σ21PAHs and Σ16PAHs in arable soils of Taiyuan were 934.6 ng·g-1 and 787.7 ng·g-1, respectively, which were lower than the soil pollution risk screening value of agricultural land stipulated in GB 15168-2018. 3-5 rings PAHs were the dominant components, accounting for~90% of the Σ21PAHs. Approximately 60% of sites in industrial zones, 13% in hilly areas, and 33% in the sewage irrigation area had high PAHs contents larger than 1000 ng·g-1. The spatial distribution of PAHs showed that more severe PAHs pollution in the soil occurred in industrial areas than that in the other two districts. The DRs suggested that the combustion of coals, bio-masses, and traffic emissions were the dominant sources for PAHs pollution in arable soils in Taiyuan. The simulation results of the PMF model indicated that the sources and contribution rates of PAHs in cultivated soils were coal and biomass burning sources (59%), traffic sources (22%), and coking sources (19%). The risk assessment confirmed that the arable soils in Taiyuan had high potential carcinogenic risks; thus, more attention should be paid to the PAHs pollutions in arable soils.
