Glimpse of the two chemicals • PAHs, abbreviation of “Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons”, are potent atmospheric pollutants that consist of fused aromatic rings and do not contain heteroatoms or carry substituents.[1] • Dioxins refer to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin(PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDFs).

On PAHs--Environmental level 16 US EPA priority PAHs were present in majority water samples. The concentrations of ∑ PAHs in water ranged from 144.3 to 2360 ng·L-1 with the mean value of 662ng·L-1. 26 sample sites along Yellow River The concentrations of ∑ PAHs in SPMs ranged from 506.6 to 10,510 ng·g-1dry weight with the mean value of 4100ng·g-1 . The concentrations of ∑ PAHs in sediments ranged from 16.4 to 1358 ng· g-1 dry weight with the mean value of 182.0ng·g-1. [2] Jian-Hui Sun et al. Distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Henan Reach of the Yellow River, Middle China [J] Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 72 (2009) 1614– 1624
On PAHs--Environmental level Concentrations of different rings PAHs in different sample sites’ water were quite different. Concentration of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-ring and total PAHs in water in Henan Reach of the Yellow River
On PAHs--Environmental level PAS-GP-II passive sampler Glass bucket Dustfall samples were collected from March, 2005 to January, 2006 at 4 sampling sites in the southeastern suburb of Beijing. Concentrations of ∑16PAHs ranged from 0.72 to 40.45 µg g−1. 2–3 ring PAH compounds were the dominant ones in dustfall samples. [3]Shucai Zhang et al. Dry deposition of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in the southeast suburb of Beijing, China[J] Atmospheric Research 89 (2008) 138–148
On PAHs--Environmental level High molecular weight compounds tended to stay in TSP, while more low and medium molecular weight ones could be found in gas phase and dustfall. Relative percentage of 16 PAH compounds in 3 media

On PAHs--Toxicity PAHs had long been thought to be direct carcinogens, however, as research on them deepens, people have realized that PAHs themselves do not have a directly negative effect on our health, but the substances generated through metabolismworks.

The Stockholm Convention polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDFs) belongs to the initial 12 POPs of the convention. Annex A (Elimination) Annex B (Restriction) Annex C (Unintentional production) Parties must take measures to reduce the unintentional releases of chemicals listed under Annex C with the goal of continuing minimization and, where feasible, ultimate elimination.

On PCDD/Fs--Environmental level The most toxic organic compound ever found The presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs is expressed as toxic equivalents (TEQ) after multiplication of congener-specific concentration levels with toxicity equivalency factors (TEF) developed based on their relative toxicity compared to 2,3,7,8-TCDD.

On PCDD/Fs--Environmental level The mean level of PCDD/Fs in the free range egg samples was 5.7(1.79/0.314) times higher than those in the caged egg samples. Geographical locations of the areas where egg sampleswere collected in Taiwan. 17 PCDD/Fs were determined using HRGC-HRMS( high resolution gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry) [6] Jing-Fang Hsu et al. Elevated PCDD/F Levels and Distinctive PCDD/F CongenerProfiles in Free Range Eggs[J], Agriculture and food chemistry, 2010, 58, 7708–7714
On PCDD/Fs--Toxicity The changes in Yushchenko's face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning , and dioxin levels found in Yushchenko's blood was 6,000 times above normal! The former president of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko In January 1999, 500 tons of feed contaminated with approximately 50 kg of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 1 g of dioxins were distributed to animal farms in Belgium.
