Chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: method of analysis and their occurrence in urban air

Dechlorane Plus and decabromodiphenyl ether in atmospheric particles of northeast Asian cities

“…The high concentrations of 1-ClPyr and 6-ClBaP among the ClPAHs in our study is in agreement with the profiles reported from air collected at Shizuoka, Japan (Kitazawa et al, 2006), in fly ash from incineration facilities (Horii et al, 2008), and in air collected from a road tunnel (high traffic areas) (Nilsson and Öestman, 1993).…”

“…Humans are exposed to PAHs from various sources, including certain occupational environments, dietary sources, cigarette smoking, and fossil fuels (Lodovici et al, 1995;Hoffmann and Hoffmann, 1997;Liu et al, 2001). In recent decades, the detection of chlorinated PAHs (ClPAHs) in the environment, including in tap water, road tunnels, and soil (Shiraishi et al, 1985;Nilsson and Öestman, 1993;Sugiyama et al, 1999;Ishaq et al, 2003) has attracted considerable interest. The structure of ClPAHs is similar to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).…”

Analysis of Halogenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Air

“…Concerning pretreatment of ClPAH analysis from suspended particle matters, Nilsson and Ostman investigated the cleanup method and revealed that the behaviors of chloro-added PAHs showed the different from chloro-substituted PAHs in detail [23]. It represents that after silica cleanup, treatment using HPLC back-flush elution with cyanopropyldimethylsilica was effective method to separate chloro-added PAHs from chloro-substituted PAHs, parent PAHs, and aliphatics.…”

Phase Behavior and Crystal Structure of Binary Polycyclic Aromatic Compound Mixtures

“…Concerns have been raised regarding PAHs due to their known health effects (Luthy et al, 1994;Sun et al, 2003). In addition PAHs, chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ClPAHs and BrPAHs) are of interest commercially and of concern for their environmental effects (Shiraishi et al, 1985;Haglund et al, 1987;Nilsson and Ostman, 1993;Koistinen et al, 1994a, b;Ishaq et al, 2003;Kitazawa et al, 2006;Horii et al, 2008;Horii et al, 2009;Ohura et al, 2009;Ni et al, 2010;Ohura et al, 2010). The thermodynamic properties of pure PAHs have been widely studied for more than 50 years Wakayama and Inokuchi, 1967;Murray and Pottie, 1974;De Kruif, 1980;Mackay et al, 1982;Bender et al, 1983;Sonnefeld et al, 1983;Hansen and Eckert, 1986;Sato et al, 1986;Hinckley et al, 1990;Nass et al, 1995;Oja and Suuberg, 1997;Ruzicka et al, 1998;Chickos and Acree, 1999;Shiu and Ma, 2000;Burks and Harmon, 2001;Lei et al, 2002;Mackay et al, 2006;Odabasi et al, 2006;Goldfarb and Suuberg, 2008b, a, c;Ma et al, 2010).…”
