Introduction What are Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)? Hydrophobic Organic Compounds (HOC) Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
Naphthalene Acenaphthylene Acenaphthene Fluorene Anthracene Phenanthrene Fluoranthene Pyrene Benzo(a)anthracene Chrysene Benzo(b)fluoranthene Benzo(k)fluoranthene Benzo(a)pyrene Dibenz(a,h)anthracene Benzo(g,h,i)perylene Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pryene Ring structure of PAHs
Introduction Suspect carcinogens Endocrine disruptors Bioaccumulation Source identification Why PAHs?
PAHs in environment Petrogenic sources Oil spill Industrial waste Pyrogenic sources Industrial emission Vehicles emission Open-burning emission Diagenetic source Diagenesis of biogenic precursors Perylene Retene
CH3 Source identification Alkyl- phenanthrenes Anthracene Fluorene Benzo(a)anthracene Benzo(g,h,i)perylene Phenanthrene Acenaphthene Naphthalene Pyrene Fluoranthene Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pryene Chrysene Benzo(a)pyrene
