AB  - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are semivolatile organic compounds 
      (SVOCs) categorized as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). PAHs are ubiquitous 
      in terrestrial, atmospheric, and particularly aquatic environments throughout the 
      world and have been detected in lakes, ground waters, and rivers. This research 
      work involved the analysis of five PAHs, anthracene, fluorene, naphthalene, 
      phenanthrene, and pyrene, in water sample collected from the river Buriganga, 
      Bangladesh. The extraction of water samples was carried out by reversed phase 
      solid-phase extraction (RP-SPE) technique with C-18 SPE cartridges. A solvent 
      mixture of dichloromethane and hexane (1 : 2) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min was 
      used as eluent. Percentage recoveries of five PAHs for this technique were in the 
      range of 81.47 +/- 1.16 to 98.60 +/- 0.61%. PAHs quantification was achieved by using 
      an ion trap gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS) interfaced to gas 
      chromatography (GC) equipped with a fused silica capillary column. Helium was 
      used as carrier gas with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The commonly detected PAH 
      compounds in the river water were anthracene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene at 
      the concentration ranges of 0.451 to 3.201, 0.033 to 3.1131, and 0.320 to 
      2.546 mug/mL, respectively. The results reflect that PAHs presented in this river 
      water were mostly from petrogenic and pyrogenic sources.
