Dataset on spatial distribution of particulate matter-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in roadside soils across urban zones with varying green space density and associated health risks in Sabzevar, Iran

Description

This dataset contains raw concentrations of 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) measured in roadside soil samples collected from Sabzevar, Iran (n=20). PAHs were extracted using Soxhlet extraction and analyzed by GC-MS in SIM mode. Concentrations are expressed in ng/g dry soil. The dataset includes: Location code (0=control, 1=Tohid City, 2=Tehran Road, 3=Sarbedaran Square) Sampling distance code (3=nearest to road, 0=farthest, 50m from road) Individual PAH concentrations (DBA, IND, BaP, BbF, CRY, BaA, PYR, FLT, ANT, PHE, FLU, ACE, ACY, NA) Total PAHs (ΣPAHs), low molecular weight (ΣLMW-PAHs), and high molecular weight (ΣHMW-PAHs) The second sheet provides the legend for location and distance codes.
