PAHs

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds. They consist of multiple fused aromatic rings. PAHs are found in fossil fuels and are produced during incomplete combustion. These substances can be harmful to human health. They are known carcinogens. PAHs can contaminate air, soil, and water. Monitoring their levels is crucial for environmental protection. Regulations exist to limit their release into the environment.
