Abstract

For the first time, the content of 17 individual PAHs was analyzed in samples of background and urban soils obtained during a geochemical survey of the territory of Ulan-Ude in the summer of 2022. The average content of PAHs in the urban soils is 801 ng/g, which is more than 8.5 times higher than the level in background chestnut soils. The soil cover is contaminated predominantly with mediumand highmolecular-weight polyarenes. The share of individual PAHs in the soils of Ulan-Ude ranges within 4–11% with an average value of 6%. In the urban soil cover, ten high-contrast anomalies were identified with the amount of PAHs ranging from 3162 to 10189 ng/g. The principal component analysis and indicator ratios of polyarenes made it possible to identify the main types of sources and their contribution to urban soil pollution.
