Abstract [English]

Study of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollution in roadside soil was conducted in developing city during winter, summer, monsoon season to ascertain the contamination levels and their distribution behavior in soil. The concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was determined at nine locations of Morena in India at roadside, residential and agricultural in soil covering all the major traffic intercepts within city.
