A Comparison of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Mobilization from Environmental Matrices

A method has been developed to analyse PAHs in solid environmental matrices using an in-situ PFE-GC-MS method. The method involves the use of 2 g of alumina as the in-situ clean-up sorbent, in order to remove interferences and impurities in the soils ...

Characterisation of Hydrocarbon Degrading Antarctic Pseudomonas species

, 2013
Hydrocarbon contamination of Antarctica poses a threat to the unique and fragile ecosystems of this continent. Bioremediation, utilising indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, has been proposed as an environmentally friendly method for clean up of ...

Carcinogenic and Genotoxicity of some PAHs in commonly consumed smoked fish (Parachanna obscura and Ethmalosa fimbriata)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
The dietary exposure of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) and potential risk to human health was instigated in two different traditionally smoked species of fish (Parachanna obscura and Ethmalosa frimbriata) purchased from three markets in Benin ...

Organic and Inorganic Pollutants, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Electrophoretic Protein Profiles in an Endangered Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus) From Southeastern Brazil: A Case Study

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive screening of different environmental contaminants (total metals, thermostable metal fractions associated with detoxification, and persistent organic pollutants) was conducted in an endangered common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus ) individual incidentally captured in southeastern Brazil.

Synergistic Effects of Fuel Components on Aromatics Formation in Combustion: A Review

Applied Sciences
Aromatics, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are important combustion pollutants known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic and are also precursors of soot and, consequently, combustion-generated particulate matters that can significantly ...

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Physics of Superconductors Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons ( PAH )

In this work, we will study metallic clusters equivalent to the organic ones intercalated with metals, of solid benzene type, Ba anthracene and K3.45picene; and we will try to calculate its superconducting Tc, for each of these compounds, from electronic correlations at room temperature.
