A variety of organic and inorganic compounds enter the atmosphere and biosphere through natural and anthropogenic sources. This book concerns sources of PAH, their emission factors, atmospheric reactions, and relative importance. It further deals with exposure, uptake, metabolism, detection of PAH in the human body, and recent advances in determination of PAH by higher performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Finally, the handbook contains an update of information in selected research areas.
