PM particulate matter (PM) and their associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied at Urban and Sub-urban sites in the western coast of India. The concentration of PM ranged from 66.29 μg m to 182.15 μg m, being the highest at Sub-urban site than the urban site. There were total six carcinogenic PAHs found to be dominated in particulate samples at these locations. The general trends observed for individual carcinogenic PAHs concentration at urban location was, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)

Background: Edible oils are susceptible to contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) throughout production, storage, and transportation processes due to their lipophilic nature. The necessity of quantifying PAHs present in complex oil matrices at trace levels, which bind strongly to impurities in oil matrices, poses a major challenge to the accurate quantification of these contaminants. Therefore, the development of straightforward and effective methods for the separation and enrichment of PAHs in oil samples prior to instrumental analysis is paramount to guaranteeing food safety.

Reductions in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations have been observed during frying. However, transformation mechanisms of PAHs remain unclear. We hypothesize that PAHs may be oxidized into oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) and other derivatives during frying.

Long-term occupational exposure to metals and organics have been reported to be under great health risks. However, limited data are available on the molecular mechanism between combined exposure to metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and harmful health effects. In present work, non-target metabolomics study was conducted based on urine samples from nonferrous metal smelting workers (n = 207), surrounding residents (n = 180), and the control residents (n = 187) by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS).

Sludge landfilling is widely used in China, accounting for approximately 65% of total sludge disposal, due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, with increasing land scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the Chinese government has emphasized reducing sludge landfilling. Despite these efforts, sludge historically disposed of in landfills continues to pose risks, including heavy metal leaching and contamination of groundwater and soil.

Diving birds, particularly those sharing coastal habitats with fishing grounds, are at risk from oil pollution. Despite documented cases of bird mortality, the specific role of oil pollution in these death remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, this study examined polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination, its sources, and its impact on loon health.
