concentration. The target set by the Dutch government for unpolluted soil is20–50μg/kg. Therefore, as all of the soils sampled were above 50μg/kg, the soils were considered to be polluted by PAHs. As there are many open e-waste burning sites in Guiyu, it was postulated that PAHs would be transported atmospherically by wind and subsequently deposited on land. Concentration of PAHs in the soil collected is given in table 6.4.
