Benzo (a) pyrene is a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic compound, difficult to be degraded, widely present in the environment. However, there is currently no cost-effective and efficient method for removing benzo (a) pyrene. In this study, a feasible method was introduced to cheaply and efficiently adsorb benzo()pyrene using chromatin. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the chromatin had a filamentary fiber structure. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that benzo()pyrene formed a bond with the chromatin. Effective binding was confirmed using fluorescence microscopy. Influence factors exploration experiments indicated that the amount of benzo()pyrene adsorbed by chromatin was 0.16 mg g. The adsorption process of BaP by chromatin is consistent with a pseudo-second-order kinetics model of adsorption. The adsorption isotherm model is consistent with the langmuir isotherm model.This study suggests that chromatin can be utilized as a ordinary and high efficiency adsorbent for removing benzo()pyrene and can be utilized in further studies.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cattle and goat meats cooked with firewood, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), or tyres across five cities in Ghana.
- Tyre-singed meats showed significantly higher PAHs, specifically the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, compared to those singed with firewood and LPG.
- Findings indicate serious health risks from consuming tyre-singed meats, highlighting the need for better regulations and public awareness about PAH exposure.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are primarily generated through the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic materials in various industrial processes. Foods may become contaminated with environmental PAHs found in air, soil, or water, or through industrial food processing methods such as smoking, roasting, drying, and grilling. The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan has established maximum levels for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and indicative values for BaP as well as PAH4 (the sum of benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, and benzo[a]pyrene) in foods as operational guidelines.

Firefighters are exposed to a variety of hazardous substances during firefighting activities. Fire smoke contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) some of which have been shown to cause cancer in humans. To assess dermal exposure of firefighters during real-life firefighting, a whole-body dosimetry method was applied to determine the PAH that settles on the skin despite firefighters wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).

This research investigates the concentrations, sources, and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs (NPAHs) in particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM[Formula: see text]) from critical urban centers in northern Mexico: Metropolitan Monterrey Area (MMA), Chihuahua (CHI), and Ciudad Juárez (CDJ). Advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and GC-NCI-MS) revealed significant PAHs concentrations, with levels in MMA reaching 108.89 ± 99.
