Biomass burning (BB) is a significant air pollution source, with global, regional and local
impacts on air quality, public health and climate. Worldwide an extensive range of studies …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of considerable concern due to their well-
recognised toxicity and especially due to the carcinogenic hazard which they present. PAHs …

Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are derivatives of PAHs with at least

In the last years, there is great attention paid to the determination of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different environmental matrices. Extensive reviews on PAHs …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on virgin polystyrene (PS) and PS marine debris
led us to examine PS as a source and sink for PAHs in the marine environment. At two …
