Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are released into the environment from anthropogenic sources, such as combustion of refused burning, industrial process, electrical equipment. The concentration of PAHs in roadside oil-sludge was measured at outside of Mathura-Refinery, Delhi-Agra, National Highway No. 2. The samples were extracted with n-hexane by ultrasonic agitation and aromatic fraction analysis by GC. Total mean concentration of PAHs was found to be 11.34 mu g g(-1) and ranged from 4.43-22.53 mu g g(-1). Fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo (b) fluoranthene were round to be the most abundant PAHs at this location.
