Abstract: This research was carried out to evaluate heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration in sachet water located in Bayelsa state, Nigeria. From the analyzed samples the concentration of PAHs and Heavy metal were all below the permissible limits as issued by international bodies. For PAHs analysis the levels of Bghip, DahA, ICP, and phe are the lowest of all the samples' concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.......
Key Word: Heavy metals, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, Chromium, Zinc, Fido wate
