Abstrakt
Despite the many positives ensuing from the rapid expansion of the air transport sector, airport operations as a whole are a substantial source of environmental pollution.Increases in aviation developments have serious consequences on the surrounding air, soil and water bodies like lakes, rivers and ground water. The present work deals with the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found inairport runoff waters from the Lech Walesa Airport in Gdansk. The results of the analyses of runoff water samples from these locations are an excellent qualitative and quantitative index ofcontaminants produced as a result of all kinds of activities at both airports. Analysis of the contaminants present in samples of airport runoff waters provides a clearer picture and understanding of the xenobiotic cycle in the environment. It is therefore crucial that samples of runoff waters from airports should be monitored and analysed for the largest possible number of contaminants.
