More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. It is estimated that by 2030
there will be 41 megacities and most of them will be located in developing countries. The …

There is an increasing concern about the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in the environment as they are ubiquitous in ambient air and some of them are …

Population growth will lead to an increase in food demand, which will exert pressure on crop
production and likely increase the agricultural crop residue. The present study estimates …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds with two
