Paperback / softback
Description
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of semi-volatile organic compounds that are formed during the incomplete burning of gas, coal, oil, wood, garbage, or other organic substances.
PAHs are a concern because a number of them have been identified as genotoxic and/or carcinogenic.
They pose a threat to ecological systems and can cause health problems.
A significant source of PAHs is the effluent of wastewater treatment plants.
This book explores the occurrence and the treatability of PAHs in wastewater treatment.
