Produktinformationen zu „PAHs (PDF)“
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or polyarenes, are one of
the largest and most structurally diverse class of organic
molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a
wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in
coal tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are
crude oil, coal and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil
sources constitute the primary source of energy for the industrial
nations of the world, and the petrochemicals from these raw
materials are the basis of the synthetic fibre and plastics
industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and their
impact on the environment and human health must be monitored and
controlled.
This book will review and assess our scientific understanding of
the ecological exposure and effects PAHs have in different
environments and habitats. It will accomplish this by taking the
recipients of the pollution in the environment as starting points
and working its way back through pathways to access what is
required for our understanding of effects and rationale for
control.
Although this book will concentrate on ecological exposure of PAHs,
the general impacts of PAHs on human populations will be touched
upon. It is thought to be the first book to focus on the ecological
aspects of PAHs.
