Abstract :
The research of water pollution by polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represents nowadays an important problem especially that some of these pollutants have a carcinogenic activity. The investigation and the analysis of several series of samples has been carried out by Chromatography: (HPLC and GC-MS). A high level of pollution by PAH has been observed, as well as the nature of their derivatives has been investigated and discussed
