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 …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a family of toxicants that are ubiquitous in the
environment. These contaminants generate considerable interest, because some of them …

Animal studies have shown that dietary intake of benzo [a] pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), causes increased levels of tumors at several sites, particularly …

Cancers of the colon are most common in the Western world. In majority of these cases,
there is no familial history and sporadic gene damage seems to play an important role in the …

In recent years, brown carbon (BrC) has been shown to be an important contributor to light
absorption by biomass-burning atmospheric aerosols in the blue and near-ultraviolet (UV) …

Evidence shows that fetuses and infants are more affected than adults by a variety of
environmental toxicants because of differential exposure, physiologic immaturity, and a …

Determination of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in corn, sunflower, olive oils and
barbecued meat and fish by HPLC/UV–Vis method is described. The extraction procedure …

Background In this study we compared cancer risks from organic hazardous air pollutants
(HAPs) based on total personal exposure summed across different microenvironments and …

Ubiquitous fine particulates can readily be bound to toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and are considered to be a great threat to human health. The purpose of this …

Abstract Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP) is formed by incomplete combustion of organic materials
(petroleum, coal, tobacco, etc.). BaP is designated by the International Agency for Research …
