Toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

open access: yesRegulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP, 1992
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; also referred to as the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons or PNAs) are commonly encountered at hazardous waste sites and are often the focus of site remediation activities.

PAHs and Astrobiology [PDF]

open access: yesEAS Publications Series, 2011
In dense molecular clouds, the birthplace of stars and planets, interstellar atoms and molecules freeze onto extremely cold dust and ice particles. These ices are processed by ultraviolet light and cosmic rays forming hundreds of far more complex species, some of astrobiological interest.

Fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during composting of lagooning sewage sludge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The fate of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), targeted by the USEPA agency, has been investigated during composting of lagooning sludge. Composting shows efficient decrease of the content and the bioavailability of each PAH.

Biodegradation of Mixed PAHs by PAH-Degrading Endophytic Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016
Endophytic bacteria can promote plant growth, induce plant defence mechanisms, and increase plant resistance to organic contaminants. The aims of the present study were to isolate highly PAH-degrading endophytic bacteria from plants growing at PAH-contaminated sites and to evaluate the capabilities of these bacteria to degrade polycyclic aromatic ...

Investigation of PAHs, nitrated PAHs and oxygenated PAHs in PM10 urban aerosols. A comprehensive data analysis

open access: yesChemosphere, 2022
Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in particulate matter contribute considerably to the health risk of air pollution. As such, we have optimized a method to determine the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, especially nitrated and oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in samples of PM10 particulate matter using microwave-assisted ...
