Sources, properties and health risks of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
In the present review article focus on highlighting the sources, properties and health risks of carcinogenic PAHs both on human health and environment. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprises a broad family of compounds that are also described as semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC). This term refers to the fact that PAHs are distributed between gas and particle phases. In fast budd...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Residential Dust: Sources of Variability
BACKGROUND There is interest in using residential dust to estimate human exposure to environmental contaminants. OBJECTIVES We aimed to characterize the sources of variability for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in residential dust and provide guidance for investigators who plan to use residential dust to assess exposure to PAHs. METHODS We collected repeat dust samples from 293 hou...
متن کاملThe significance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as environmental carcinogens
In vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are potent mutagens and/or carcinogens. Occupational and epidemiological studies suggest that they also have to be considered as hazards for humans. Due to their formation during all kind of incomplete combustions they are widespread to the environment. Balancing the carcinogenic effect of environmentally ...
متن کاملMonitoring of environmental exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: a review
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds with two or more fused aromatic rings. They have a relatively low solubility in water, but are highly lipophilic. Most of the PAHs with low vapour pressure in the air are adsorbed on particles. When dissolved in water or adsorbed on particulate matter, PAHs can undergo photodecomposition when exposed to ultraviolet l...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Petroleum Contaminated Soils
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of potentially hazardous chemicals of environmental and health concern. PAHs are one of the most prevalent groups of contaminants found in soil. Biodegradation of complex hydrocarbon usually requires the cooperation of more than single specie. In this research biotreatment of PAH (phenanthrene) was studied in a solid-phase reactor using indigenou...
