Wind rose and modelling of the fate of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the Central Poland

The wind rose analysis has been performed for the town of Radom in Central Poland. It was found that West and South-West wind directions significantly dominate in the wind rose, causing PAHs influx from coal power stations. The analysis of the PAHs accumulation in water, soil and bottom sediments based on the fugacity and partition coefficients model has been performed for Domaniów Lake. The results have been compared with the experimental PAHs concentrations in the lake, in- and out-flowing waters as well as in the dust over the lake.
