| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Available data for three New York City landfills constructed prior to 1925 are compiled to evaluate the presence and characteristics of seven non-alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds in solid waste and pore waters. PAH compounds were detected in 90% of 154 waste samples. The median and maximum total PAH concentrations in waste were 7,010 and 277,200 ug/kg, respectively. A characteristic pattern in the relative abundance of seven PAH compounds is observed for most waste samples. Peak abundances are seen for PAH compounds in the middle molecular weight range (mw = 178-226). Progressively lower concentrations are observed for PAH compounds that are heavier or lighter than this range. Three compounds, phenanthrene, pyrene and chrysene, typically account for more than 35% of the total PAH in waste. The total PAH concentration is highly variable with depth and location and is probably dependent on random local variability of waste. Differences in the aque |
