%X Three different edible plants (Vernonia amydalina, Telfera occidendalis and Amaranthus spinosus) were analyzed to investigate the concentrations of volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) components . Identification and quantitative analysis of the VOHs and PAH components were achieved by gas chromatography. The results obtained showed that the PAH components present in the samples ranged from 32.50 ㊣ 0.10 每 54.67 ㊣ 0.10 米g /kg, Naphthalene; 8.50 ㊣ 0.01 每 12.70 ㊣ 0.05 米g /kg, Fluorene; 17.60 ㊣ 0.01 每 77.80 ㊣ 0.20 米g /kg, Phenanthrene; 21.00 ㊣ 0.02 每 2.15 ㊣ 0.01 米g /kg, Anthracene; 30.10 ㊣ 0.02 每 88.10 ㊣ 0.01 米g /kg,Fluoranthene; 21.30 ㊣ 0.01 每 87.60 ㊣ 0.40 米g /kg,Pyrene; 1.37 ㊣ 0.01 每 16.70 ㊣ 0.10 米g /kg, Benz(a)anthracene; 0.98 ㊣ 0.01 - 1.74 ㊣ 0.10 米g /kg. Benzo(k)fluoranthene; 5.70 ㊣ 0.02 每 6.50 ㊣ 0.01 米g /kg, benzo(a) pyrene; 2.45 ㊣ 0.02 每 4.70 ㊣ 0.02, benzo(c)phenanthrene. analysed. Benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(c)phenanthrene were not detected in sample B. VOHs were not detected in all the samples.
