| Summary: | Continuous release of xenobiotic chemicals to a human environment
increasingly predisposes society to significant health-related risks due to their toxicity
and long-term presence in the environment. Naturally occurring and manufactured
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are categorized based on their
teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties (Acevedo F, Pizzul L, Castillo
Mdel P, Cuevas R, Diez MC; J Hazard Mater 185(1):212–219, 2011). Longevity of
PHAs in the environment directly depends on their low solubility in water, vapor
pressures and high octanol/water partitioning coefficients (Bogan BW, Lamar RT;
Appl Environ Microbiol 61(7):2631–2635, 1995). |
