DETERMINATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS IN WELL WATER OF CO NHUE 1 WARD BY GC/MS MASS SPECTRUM CHROMATOGRAPHY

Abstract

PAHs are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic organic pollutants that pose environmental and health hazards. This work uses gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to detect and quantify PAHs in Co Nhue 1 Ward well water samples. GC/MS was used to identify and quantify PAHS chemicals in well water samples from Co Nhue 1 Ward. Data were compared to environmental safety requirements to estimate contamination hazards. GC/MS was used to identify and quantify PAHS chemicals in well water samples from Co Nhue 1 Ward. Data were compared to environmental safety requirements to estimate contamination hazards. The investigation found PAHS chemicals in the water samples, some exceeding limits. PAHs with low- and high-molecular-weight compounds were found, indicating pollution from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and poor waste disposal. PAH-contaminated well water in Co Nhue 1 Ward may harm people. To reduce PAHS pollution and maintain safe drinking water, regular monitoring and water treatment are needed.
