Abstract The objective of the study was to determine role of soil sealing degree as the factor influencing soil contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The study area included four sampling sites located within the administrative boundaries of the Toruń city, Poland. Sampling procedure involved preparing soil pits representing three examples of soil sealing at each site: non-sealed soil as a control one (I) and two degrees of soil sealing: semi-pervious surface (II) and totally impervious surface (III). Together with basic properties defined with standard procedures (particle size distribution, pH, LOI, content of carbonates) content of selected PAHs was determined by dichloromethane extraction using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS). Obtained results show that urban soils in the city of Toruń are contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Soil sealing degree has a strong influence on the soil contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Totally sealed soils are better preserved from atmospheric pollution including PAHs. Combustion of grass/wood/coal was the main source of determined PAHs content in examined soils.

Solid-phase microextraction in combination with gas chromatography and mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and for identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air of the city of Astana, Kazakhstan. The screening of the samples showed the presence of mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, phenols, and benzaldehydes. The concentrations of naphthalene were 5-7 times higher than the permissible value, it was detected in all studied air samples. Average concentration of naphthalene was 18.4 μg/m3, acenaphthylene – 0.54 μg/m3, acenaphthene – 1.63 μg/m3, fluorene – 0.79 μg/m3, anthracene – 3.27 μg/m3, phenanthrene – 0.22 μg/m3, fluorantene – 0.74 μg/m3, pyrene – 0.73 μg/m3. Average concentrations of BTEX in the studied samples were 31.1, 84.9, 10.8 and 11.6 μg/m3, respectively. Based on the statistical analysis of the concentrations of BTEX and PAH, the main source of city air pollution with them was assumed to be vehicle emissions.

9,10-Di(1-naphthyl)phenanthrene (5 a) and 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)phenanthrene (5 b) have been synthesized. It is shown that 5 a and 5b both form two stable rotational (cis/trans) isomers with the naphthalene molecular planes perpendicular to the phenanthrene plane. In the case of 5 a the mixture of the two isomers has been separated in a preparative scale and each isomer characterized by e. g., NMR spectroscopy. Photocyclization of 5a leads to benzo[e]phenanthro[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene (9) while 5 b yields phenanthro[9,10-i]pentahelicene (14); both hydrocarbons have not been previously described in the literature. The observed selectivities of photocyclization are explained on the basis of the structures and stabilities of the initially formed photoproducts (dihydro structures 15 and 14 a). The role of intramolecular non-radiative singlet-singlet energy transfer (naphthalene → phenanthrene) as competing with photocyclization is discussed in detail.
