A Report on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Sathvik Arava

PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are common environmental contaminants produced by incomplete combustion of organic materials (e.g. coal, oil, petrol, and wood). Although anthropogenic activities account for the majority of PAH emissions in the environment, certain PAHs come from natural sources such as open burning, natural losses or seepage of petroleum or coal reserves, and volcanic events.
