The analytical method for the determination of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental soil by ultrasonic assisted soxhlet extraction coupled with constant energy synchronous fluorescence spectrometry was described.The results indicated that were taken in Longyan City XinLuo District of soil containing 9 components: Benzo(k)fluorathene, Anthracene, Fluorathene, 1,12-benzoperylene, 2,3-benzanthracene, 1,2,5,6-dibenzo-anthracene, Fluorene, 2,3-Benzofluorene, Coronene and that the concentrations of PA Hs are in the range of 9.344~372.986 ng.g-1. Industrial area around the PAHs were relatively higher in concentration in the soil, non-industrial area around the PAHs increased with the increase of human activity increased.
