“…Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous compounds in the environment, detected in various compartments such as water (Latimer and Zheng, 2003;Amoako et al, 2011), sediments (Latimer and Zheng, 2003;Srogi, 2007;Van Drooge et al, 2011), soils (Jensen et al, 2007;García-Alonso et al, 2008;Desaules et al, 2008), organisms (Meador, 2003;Perugini et al, 2007;Srogi, 2007) or air (Ravindra et al, 2008;Van Drooge and Ballesta, 2009;Yan et al, 2009;Sheesley et al, 2011). Most of PAHs come from the incomplete combustion of organic materials and are potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic for human beings (Atkinson and Arey, 1994;Kang et al, 2011;IARC, 2011).…”
