Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Kazuichi Hayakawa Pdf

This book reviews Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Nitropolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (NPAHs) contamination in the context of environmental pollution in Asia. It is comprised of the following sections: 1. Fundamental Chemistry and General Characteristics; 2. Analytical Methods; 3. Emission Source and Atmospheric Behavior; 4. Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and PM2.5; 5. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Marine Environments; 6. Metabolic Activation/Toxicities; and 7. Environmental Standards and Guidelines. This volume concentrates on the Far East due to the massive consumption of coal and petroleum in China, which has led to considerable levels of air pollution. High concentration of atmospheric PM2.5 in Beijing have been reported since January 2013 and exposure to such high concentrations may cause respiratory, cardiac and lung diseases. Gathering contributions from international experts, this volume provides a valuable reference guide for global researchers and students interested in learning from the East Asian experience.

WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality by Anonim Pdf

This book presents WHO guidelines for the protection of public health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. The substances considered in this review, i.e. benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (especially benzo[a]pyrene), radon, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, have indoor sources, are known in respect of their hazardousness to health and are often found indoors in concentrations of health concern. The guidelines are targeted at public health professionals involved in preventing health risks of environmental exposures, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. They provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.

The Carcinogenic Effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Andreas Luch Pdf

This book provides an overview on the molecular mode of action of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are by-products arising from incomplete combustion of organic matter that are frequently released into our environment, and thus are ubiquitously detectable. Many PAHs are strong carcinogens in rodent bioassays and have been linked to increased incidences of various types of cancer in humans. The present book covers all aspects of PAH-induced carcinogenesis; it is a collection of articles written by some of the most recognizable PAH researchers, reviewing the present knowledge in this field. The topics include: exposure to and biomonitoring of PAHs in the human population; metabolic activation of PAHs; genotoxicity and repair of PAH-induced DNA damage; and factors modulating individual susceptibility to the deleterious effects of PAHs. Contents:Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Induced Carcinogenesis — An Introduction (A Luch)Metabolic Activation and Detoxification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (A Luch & W M Baird)Biomonitoring of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons — Human Exposure (A Seidel)Macromolecular Adducts as Biomarkers of Human Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (D H Phillips)DNA Damage and Mutagenesis Induced by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (A Besaratinia & G P Pfeifer)Mechanisms of Repair of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Induced DNA Damage (H Naegeli & N E Geacintov)Aberrant Gene Expression and Cell Signalling/Epigenetic Effects Induced by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (P Steinberg)Indicator Assays for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Induced Genotoxicity (H Glatt)Tumorigenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (S Amin & K El-Bayoumy)Genetic Susceptibility to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Induced Carcinogenesis (A Hirvonen)Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Induced Carcinogenesis — An Integrated View (A Luch) Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in toxicology, biochemistry, oncology and the life sciences.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Pierre A. Haines,Milton D. Hendrickson Pdf

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemical compounds that consist of fused aromatic rings and do not contain heteroatoms or carry substituents. PAHs are one of the most widespread organic pollutants. Their occurrence is largely a result of anthropogenic and natural emissions such as fossil fuel-burning, motor vehicle, waste incinerator, oil refining, coke and asphalt production, and aluminum production. This book examines recent developments in the field.

Metabolism of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Aquatic Environment by Usha Varanasi Pdf

This book shows how the biological transport, bioaccumulation, disposition, and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the aquatic environment are influenced by the ability or inability of organisms to metabolize these environmental pollutants. Written by leading scientists in the fields of PAH metabolism and toxicity in both aquatic and mammalian systems, this book discusses recent advances in the areas of PAH biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation, microbial degradation, enzymes of activation, and detoxication, metabolism of PAH, and laboratory and field studies on carcinogenic/toxic effects. Additionally, important similarities and differences in metabolism of PAH by aquatic and terrestrial organisms are featured. The discussion of bioavailability, metabolism, and subsequent toxic effects should aid in the assessment of the ecological consequences of PAH in the aquatic environment.

PAHs by Peter E. T. Douben Pdf

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or polyarenes, are one of the largest and most structurally diverse class of organic molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in coal tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are crude oil, coal and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil sources constitute the primary source of energy for the industrial nations of the world, and the petrochemicals from these raw materials are the basis of the synthetic fibre and plastics industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and their impact on the environment and human health must be monitored and controlled. This book will review and assess our scientific understanding of the ecological exposure and effects PAHs have in different environments and habitats. It will accomplish this by taking the recipients of the pollution in the environment as starting points and working its way back through pathways to access what is required for our understanding of effects and rationale for control. Although this book will concentrate on ecological exposure of PAHs, the general impacts of PAHs on human populations will be touched upon. It is thought to be the first book to focus on the ecological aspects of PAHs.
