Initial research on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Zibo coal mine environment

The research on influence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environment has been studied widely and deeply.PAHs in coal, coal waste stone, mine drainage, leaching water from coal waste stone and groundwater in Zibo coal mine, Shandong Province, are discussed.The results show that the soluble PAHs existed in coal and coal waste stone.Leaching from coal and coal waste stone can increase PAHs concentration in mine drainage and groundwater.Pollution of PAHs by coal mining should be attached more importance.
