Use of Targeted and Non-Targeted Analysis to Study Complex PAH Environmental Mixtures

Creator:

Chibwe, Leah

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of organic material. These contaminants are of concern because of their widespread presence in the environment and toxic properties. In addition, PAHs encompass a class of diverse compounds with varying physicochemical properties and exist in the environment as...

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

Creator:

Motorykin, Oleksii

Abstract:

In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...
