| Sumario: | The first soil horizon of 11 sampling stations located in the limits of the Bitzal and the Usumacintarivers which cross the Centla biosphere reserve in Tabasco State were analyzed. Physicochemical analysisto determine the soils properties were done and the concentration as well as the identification of polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was camed out by means of gas chromatography with high resoliitioncapillary columns. The highest individual values for PAHs correspond to pyrene, crysene andbenzo(a)pyrene. This implies a risk for human health due to their carcinogenic propedes. |
