Toxicity, Adsorption, and Dissipation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil

摘要: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are typical persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that mostly generated from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, waste incineration, forest and prairie fires, industrial processes (Bamforth Singleton 2005; Zeng et al. 2010). They widespread distributed in environments, such as soil, air, water, sediment, etc. (Johnson 2005). Because their potential bioaccumulation high toxicity, great attention has been paid to study behavior PAHs soil develop effective practices remediate PAHs-contaminated past decades. In this chapter, some work about toxicity (Ma 2010a), adsorption (Li 2013; 2014; He 2015a; Ma 2011, 2016), dissipation 2010b, c; 2015b) conducted our group these years is reviewed.
