Effects of biochar and organic substrates on biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and microbial community structure in PAHs-contaminated soils.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
A incubation experiment was conducted to investigate whether combined amendment of biochar (B) and compost (CP), mushroom residue (M) and corn straw (Y) could enhance biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils.

Enhancement of PAHs biodegradation in biosurfactant/phenol system by increasing the bioavailability of PAHs.

Chemosphere, 2020
The poor bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is the main limiting factor for their biodegradation in contaminated sites. The addition of biosurfactant is an effective method for enhancing the bioavailability of PAHs.

The cellular effects of PM2.5 collected in Chinese Taiyuan and Guangzhou and their associations with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and hydroxy-PAHs.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
Numerous studies have demonstrated adverse effects on human health after exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, it is still not clear how the toxicological effects and the health risks vary among PM samples of different compositions and ...

Inhibition of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and hydroxy-PAHs (OH-PAHs)

Environmental Pollution, 2020
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as one of the ubiquitous environmental pollutants caused by unavoidable combustion of by-products. Despite decades of research on adverse health effects towards humans, the effects of PAHs and their hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PAHs) on UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) remain unclear.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)*

2005
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are lipophilic chemicals that are normally formed as by-products of fossil fuel combustion and residues of coal processing. They are ubiquitous as contaminants from petroleum and coal utilization and are of environmental and occupational health concern because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties.

Microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Xiamen coastal areas: Implications for anthropogenic impacts.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated to study the influence of human activities and to find their possible relationship on the coastal environments, where the coastal areas around Xiamen are undergoing intensive ...

Cigarette butts: An overlooked source of PAHs in the environment?

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Cigarette butts (CBs) are the most common littered objects in the environment and may contain high amounts of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from incomplete tobacco leave burning.
