PAHs are mainly produced by combustion processes and consist of a number of toxic
compounds. While the concentrations of individual PAHs in soil produced by natural …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear in most urbanized coastal areas of the
world, accum'ulating in sediments and biota that are unable to efficiently eliminate them …

Parent and alkyl PAHs (51 compounds and alkyl homologues) have been quantified in
suspended particulates and sediments (345 samples) from the Fraser River system, British …

As they persist, or age, in soil, organic compounds become progressively less available for
uptake by organisms, for exerting toxic effects, and for biodegradation and bioremediation …

This paper presents the first attempt to quantify the production, cycling, storage and loss of
PAHs in the UK environment. Over 53 000 tonnes of∑ PAHs (sum of 12 individual …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

This is the first publication on the distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in riverine and coastal sediments in South East Asia where the rapid …

Ecology of Estuaries represents the most definitive and comprehensive source of reference
information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. The volume discusses …

Existing field data indicate that soot may significantly affect the environmental speciation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). To expand hydrophobic partition models to …

This investigation represents the first extensive study of the spatial distribution and sources
of aliphatic (n-alkanes and unresolved complex mixture of fossil hydrocarbons) and …
