Potential Toxicity Risk Assessment and Priority Control Strategy for PAHs Metabolism and Transformation Behaviors in the Environment

Abstract: In this study, 16 PAHs were selected as the priority control pollutants to summarize their environmental metabolism and transformation processes, including photolysis, plant degradation, bacterial degradation, fungal degradation, microalgae degradation, and human metabolic transformation. Meanwhile, a total of 473 PAHs by-products generated during their transformation and degradation in different environmental media were considered. Then, a comprehensive system was established for evaluating the PAHs by-produc… Show more

“…These strategies were carried out by harnessing the ability of microorganisms, mainly bacteria. Those microorganisms will break down the organic pollutants into harmless metabolites or mineralise the pollutants into carbon dioxide and water (Zhao et al, 2022). This technique is the most preferred to remediate the environment as it rarely leaves harmful traces after cleaning up.…”

“…Flu, Phe, and Ant are all highly dependent on coal combustion. Flua and Pyr have always been considered indicators of incomplete coal combustion [44,45], which is a significant feature of using coal-fired boilers for daily life, such as heating, bathing, and cooking. Moreover, Chr, BbF, BkF, and BaP are derived from natural gas combustion, while wood combustion will produce BaA and BPE [9,38,46,47].…”

“…One of the biggest concerns is the occurrence of organic contaminants that are found to be highly persistent in the environment and have destructive biological effects on humans and animals (Baran et al, 2020;Baran et al, 2021;Eskenazi et al, 2018). Amongst the harmful organic contaminants are Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (CHs) found in the atmosphere and hydrosphere recently (Haedrich et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2022).…”
