The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is increasing importance due to fast-growing amounts demolished road materials. However, can contain relevant pollutants such as carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and toxic metals. In order improve the mechanical properties recycled asphalt, rejuvenators are used reduce stiffness aged binder. These in turn may potentially mobilise l...

We first estimated the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the brain, liver, bladder, roe, and muscle of four species of edible freshwater fish from the Beijing market. The distribution characteristics of PAHs in these tissues and organs were analyzed to determine their health risks to humans. The results showed that the residual levels of wet weight and lipid-normalized weigh...

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...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds widespread in the environment, many of them showing carcinogenic effects. These compounds can reach the food chain by different ways and, therefore, the analysis of PAHs in food is a matter of concern. The purpose of this paper is to determine the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fruit juices using high performance liquid chromatography...

High-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW-PAHs) are natural components of fossil fuels that are carcinogenic and persistent in the environment, particularly in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). Their hydrophobicity and tendency to adsorb to organic matter result in low bioavailability and high recalcitrance to degradation. Despite the importance of microbes for environm...

Reported herein is the use of γ-cyclodextrin for two tandem functions: (a) the extraction of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from oil samples into aqueous solution and (b) the promotion of highly efficient energy transfer from the newly extracted PAHs to a high-quantum-yield fluorophore. The extraction proceeded in moderate to good efficiencies, and the resulting cyclodextr...

Molecular and traditional epidemiology studies have indicated a possible relationship between in utero environmental exposures and increased risk for childhood cancers, especially acute leukemias. Chromosomal aberrations have been associated with environmental exposures and cancer risk in adults. In order to more clearly define the association between prenatal exposures to carcinogenic polycycl...

In order to explore the effects of COVID-19 control measures on concentration and composition PM2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), better understand sources PAHs, PM2.5, samples were collected at two sites in urban suburban areas Shanghai before lockdown, during after lockdown 2020, same periods 2019. The mass concentrations 21 individual PAHs determined via GC-MS analysis. Whil...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the priority controlling list of US EPA were systematically evaluated in surface sediments in Dianchi Lake and its estuaries. Total PAH concentrations (ΣPAHs) varied from 210 to 11,070 ng/g dry weight (d.w.) in Dianchi Lake, and from 230 to 12,271 ng/g d.w. in the estuaries. ΣPAHs in sediments from Caohai section were higher than those from Waihai sect...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic chemicals that consist of carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, which considered as high-priority persistent pollutants (POPs). Their source is due to an incomplete burning fossil fuels materials. In the present study, distribution concentrations 16 priority PAHs in sediments Tampamachoco lagoon Tuxpan River estuary at Gulf Mexico we...
