Title

Levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and certain chemical elements in the tissues of two types of freshwater turtles from Al-Hammar marsh, Southern Iraq.

Abstract

The fresh water turtles, Euphrates Softshell Turtle, Rafetus euphraticus (Family Trionychidae), and natural turtle, caught from two stations 1). Hareer, and 2). Al-Barga located in Southern Iraqi Al-Hammar marsh, were investigated for levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and Chemical elements Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, and Pb in the tissues Muscles, Liver, Ovary, Kidney, and Heart. PAHs were determined by HPLC technique, and chemical elements by atomic absorption technique. Concentrations of PAHs reported were higher in all tissues of Rafetus Euphraticus from both stations, and an extreme levels were reported in the heart of Rafetus Euphraticus and PAHs were highly accumulated in the kidney of both species. Levels of investigated chemical elements were higher in the tissues of Rafetus Euphraticus than thr normal turtle. Higher levels reported for Fe and lower were for Cd and Pb for both studied species. The most effected tissues in both species were ovary followed by liver then by muscles. Concentrations of Cd and Pb could not distinguish between studied species or sites due to their low values.

Key Words

Turtle, Rafetus Euphraticus, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Chemical Elements, HPLC, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.
