Identification the Carcinogenic Organic Pollutants in Tigris River in Baghdad City

Abstract

The detection of organic pollutants in the water are taking large portion of modern environmental researches, and water pollution depends on the transmission and spread factors of these contaminants from the sources (oil wells, different factories , oil refineries, power plants and sewage, etc.). The permissible limit of concentration of these compounds in water has been identified by the different service and health organizations. The WHO and British Health Organization put the maximum concentration of six PAHs compounds in drinking water a 0.2 μg / L.In this research we are identification the quality of organic pollutants in the waters of the Tigris River in the Baghdad city, whether the aliphatic cyclic compounds such as (2,3 cyclododecene), the Aromatic compound (benzene, pyridine, phenols), and poly aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs , using the GC Mass, It was a process of taken samples of water from entering the Tigris River to the Baghdad city in the Al-Taji area, Al-Chriat, Al-Kadhimiya, Al-Adhamiya, Al-Sarafiya, Bab Al-Shraqi, Al-Jadriea, Al-Massbah, Al-Zaafaraniya after south Baghdad power station, Al-Zafaraniyah (after food industries factory) and to the point it confluence with Diyala River.We are note that the Al-Massbah area (opposite to Doura Refinery) is the more areas which found the aliphatic cyclic compounds, substitutes benzene and phenols compounds, as well as a lot of pyridine, pyrrolidine, quinoline and some types of polycyclic such as naphthalene , anthracene, fluorine, indene, in addition the phallic acid compounds that substitutes by benzene rings.
