Abstract
Investigations were carried out to assess air and potable waterpollution with selected highly bioactive organic compounds,including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in theenvironment of the Silesian Rehabilitation Centre, Repty Śląskie, Poland. The results were compared with those forother towns of the region.Solid phase extraction (SPE) and capillary gas chromatography(CGC) with flame ionization detector (FID) and mass spectrometer(MS) were used for a qualitative-quantitative analysis. Moreover, water concentration of calcium, magnesium ions andnitrite ions were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Thequality of the Centre environment air and water found to besatisfactory and better than that in the other sampling sites which were studied for all the parameters.
