Column leaching tests become increasingly important for assessing the risk of release of pollutants from a wide variety of solid materials into water. In this study a column leaching test was designed to provide insight into the fate of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils and their leaching behaviour. The results showed relatively high initial concentrations of naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene for column B2. Two proportions of contaminated soil (5 and 20%) used in the columns yielded different leaching behaviour. Different contact time applied in columns B1 and B2 affected the initial amounts of leached PAHs. Results indicated that the distribution pattern of PAH compounds in solid phase considerably affected leached concentrations of PAHs. Released amounts of PAH compounds decreased with increasing molecular size, or rather the hydro-phobicity of the compound. The effect of dissolved organic carbon on PAH leaching was also investigated in this study. The mobilization of colloids did not show any significant effect on leached concentrations of PAH compounds. Approximately 4.6 and 2.2% of the total initial amounts of studied PAHs in the soil were leached in columns B1 and B2, respectively. Therefore high PAH concentrations in the solid phase does not imply serious groundwater contamination risk during a leaching event (e.g. raining) and significant amount of contaminants may stay in the soil layer for a long time and do not leach down into groundwater.
