Abstract
Total petroleum hydrocarbons pose vital environmental problems in the Tigris River. Unio tigris samples were collected from seven different sites of the Tigris River in Meysan Governorate during 2024. Total petroleum hydrocarbons concentrations were determined by using spectroflurometer technique. The highest level (12.116µg/ g) was recorded at Al-Kumait region (St. 5), and this station had the highest concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons, which is mainly due to the increased population density beside the station, leading to increased human activities and the introduction of various wastes, while the lowest level (3.050µg/ g) was recorded at Ali Al-Garbi region (St. 7). Additionally, total fat content was determined, revealing a correlation between fat content and concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons detected.
