Abstract: The study focused primarily on the assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Total Hydrocarbon content of groundwater in Obio-Akpor. Groundwater (boreholes) samples were randomly collected from 21 sampling locations in six different communities and Rivers State University in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. Standard analytical techniques were employed in the investigation. The study showed that in all the 21 stations, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) had concentrations below the SON (0.007ppm) limit. The study recommended regular monitoring of the water from the area.
Keywords: Boreholes, Groundwater, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Total Hydrocarbon Contents, Obio-Akpor, Nigeria.
