Abstract :
The study focused primarily on the
assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(PAHs) and Total Hydrocarbon content of groundwater
in Obio-Akpor. Groundwater (boreholes) samples were
randomly collected from 21 sampling locations in six
different communities and Rivers State University in
Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Standard analytical techniques were employed in the
investigation. The study showed that in all the 21
stations, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) had
concentrations below the SON (0.007ppm) limit. The
study recommended regular monitoring of the water
from the area.
