POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAH) IN VULCANO ISLAND (AEOLIAN ARCHIPELAGO) MUD UTILIZED FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSE
2007
This paper examines the possible presence, distribution, nature and sources of 18 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) as constituents of the mud pools collected in Vulcano Aeolian Island. PAH are important from environmental and toxicological point of view. Analysis was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in selected ion monitoring (SIM). The total concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons ranged from 112 to 154 μ g/Kg of dry matrix. The volcanic mud, used for therapeutic purposes, are moderately contaminated.
