fields. Susceptible mites (cyhexatin LC50 = 0.0039 %...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants and are mostly products of the incomplete combustion of organic material. PAHs are often found in environmental samples as a complex mixture of isomers. In addition, the same sources that produce complex PAH mixtures also produce other poorly characterized mixtures of organic compounds,...

recycling of those wastes that cannot be prevented within
the production process. The first piece of...
