In the soil of contaminated coking sites, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are typical indicator compounds. Generally, PAHs are enriched in the topsoil layer. BTEX, with higher water solubilities and lower organic carbon-water partitioning coefficients (Koc), are distributed deeper than PAHs. However, current models have employed predictions using single compounds to mimic the migration of BTEX at contaminated coking sites. Such models have not considered the influence of the upper soil layer, where PAHs are enriched. An attempt to fill this gap was made by setting up a control soil column experiment in this study. One column was filled with undisturbed soil (column #1) and the other with PAH-contaminated soil (column #2) to simulate the theoretical and actual surface soil layers, respectively. The results showed that in column #2, the toluene gas concentration of the headspace and time required to reach steady state were notably greater than those in column #1. High-throughput sequencing revealed that there were large microbial community structure differences between the two soil columns throughout the experiment, while some genera that degrade toluene with high efficiency emerged noteworthily in column #2. This implied that the upper soil layer enriched with PAHs was conducive to the degradation of toluene vapor. Applying this finding to human health exposure assessment of toluene suggests that the potential exposure level should be reduced from the current predicted level given the unanticipated attenuation at contaminated coking sites.
