Transport of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Calcareous Wetland Soil
Knowledge of transport and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is important in assessing PAH contamination of soils and water resources. The transport of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene was determined in a contaminated calcareous soil obtained from the Shadegan wetland (Khozestan, Iran) considering a column study in laboratory conditions. The PAHs were added ...
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 کاملHealth Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A Review
Accepted: 29/12/2014 Abstract Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and found almost everywhere. Most of PAHs are formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter such as wood, petroleum product, coal and tar. These chemicals are biologically active and pose a risk for human health because of their potentially toxicity such as carcinogenicity...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Environmental Pollutants: A review
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a group of persisting and prevalent environmental pollutants that are harmful to the environment and humans due to their toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. The emission of PAHs into the environment has increased with the increase in demand for petroleum products. The incomplete combustion of organic products such as coal, fuel oil, fir...
متن کاملBiodegradation aspects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): a review.
PAHs are aromatic hydrocarbons with two or more fused benzene rings with natural as well as anthropogenic sources. They are widely distributed environmental contaminants that have detrimental biological effects, toxicity, mutagenecity and carcinogenicity. Due to their ubiquitous occurrence, recalcitrance, bioaccumulation potential and carcinogenic activity, the PAHs have gathered significant en...
