Sand to Root Transfer of PAHs and PCBs by Carrots Grown on Sand with Pure Substances and Biosolids Amended Sand [PDF]
A study on behaviour of trace organic compounds (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAH, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCB) in a sand-plant system has been carried out, with the reclamation of wastewater treatment plant biosolids for agriculture in mind.

Atmospheric chemistry of gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: formation of atmospheric mutagens. [PDF]
The atmospheric chemistry of the 2- to 4-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which exist mainly in the gas phase in the atmosphere, is discussed. The dominant loss process for the gas-phase PAH is by reaction with the hydroxyl radical, resulting

On p-electron conjugation in the five-membered ring of fluoranthene-type benzenoid hydrocarbons [PDF]
A fluoranthene-type benzenoid hydrocarbon (FTBH) is a polycyclic conjugated system obtained by joining two ordinary benzenoid hydrocarbons so as to form a five-membered ring.

Impact of carwash discharge on stormwater quality (Toulouse, France) [PDF]
The contribution of discharge from carwashes to pollutant levels in stormwater was evaluated. Five carwashes and two outlets in the city of Toulouse (France) were selected. Water samples were collected from December 2006 to December 2007.

A comparison of PAH emission sampling methods (cyclone, impactor) in particulate and gaseous phase [PDF]
Four different domestic heating boilers and four types of fuel (lignite, wet wood, wood pellets and mixed fuel) were tested, and the emissions of the particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were correlated. Dekati low-pressure
