Abstract
A monitoring of PAH concentrations in bees collected from differentgeographical areas located in Abruzzo and Lazio regions was made. Some beehives situatednear to urban areas were compared to others in natural reserves or parks. The samples were firstlyophilized and extracted by Accelerated Solvent Extractor, then an analytical procedure basedon HPLC equipped with fluorimetric detector was carried out. Different compounds were foundwithin the range of a minimum of 0,02 ng/g for benzo(k)fluoranthene and a maximum of 9,24ng/g for phenanthrene. Benzo(a)pyrene, the only compound actually ruled for maximum levels,was never detected.[...]File in questo prodotto:
