“…These organics are commonly found in fossil fuels like coal and tar deposits and are emitted owing to incomplete combustion of organic matters. Some PAH compounds are also present in the effluents from medicine, pesticides, dyes, and plastic manufacturing units (Seidel, 2005). A majority are latent carcinogens, so when mixed, the water becomes unfit for use.…”

“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a major and ubiquitous class of chemical carcinogens to which humans are continuously exposed. The major sources of human exposure for the non‐smoker are food, either as a result of atmospheric deposition from air or generation by cooking procedures such as barbecuing, and to a lesser extent air (Phillips, ); however, exposure may be much higher in individuals exposed to these compounds occupationally, for example those working in the coke industry and in steel plants (Seidel, ).…”
