The Content of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Brackish Water, Sediments, and Medaka Fish (Oryzias sp) of Citarum Irrigation System, Pakis Jaya, Karawang, Indonesia | Chapter 4 | Emerging Issues in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 5

 Fifteen arrangement polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in the sediments and salt solution of Citarum Irrigation Structure (CIS), Pakis Jaya, Karawang Regency. The samples were analysed with liquid-liquid ancestry for brackish water, soxhlet extraction for sediments, and Oryzias chum. As a part of bioindicator incident to recognize pollutants accompanying small fish of the type Oryzias, this study was conducted to determine the baseline status of PAHs allocation and sources in water containing salt, sediments, and Oryzias fish. The ecological risk of PAHs in sediments was further evaluated. Concentrations of fifteen USEPA PAH based on GCMS study in seawater, sediments, and Oryzias angle vary from 1782 to 2386.88 ng/L, 113 to 405 ng/g, and 5.39-16.47 ng/g, respectively. Established the diagnostic ratio of PAH compounds, the potential beginnings of PAHs originated principally from pyrogenic sources. The status of waste from this Oryzias fish habitat was thought-out to be depressed polluted with PAHs.
