title: [Concentration of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals in the soil of Krakow].
abstract: The concentration of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were determined in the soils obtained from various traffic roads in Cracow including surroundings of steel works. The method of atom absorption spectrometry was using to determination of Ca, Mg, Pb, Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu. PAH (fluoranthene, pyrene, benz(a)anthracene + chryzene, benz(a)pyrene, benz(ghi)perylene, fenanthrene and perylene) were determined by gas chromatography. The highest concentration of heavy metals was found in zone of steel works. A steep fall concentration of Fe was observed in the soils with increasing distance from the works. It seems that the variety in concentration of metals don't depend only on vehicular traffic. The highest mean PAH concentration exceeding 800 micrograms/kg of dried soils was found in soil samples taken from roads where the traffic is the highest.
