To facilitate predictions of the transport and fate of contaminants at future coal conversion facilities, rates of microbial transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were measured in stream water and sediment samples collected in the vicinity of a coal-coking treated wastewater discharge from November 1977 through August 1979. Six radiolabeled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were inc...

The present study aimed to analyze the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbon transfer cyclic through consumption of Binni fish (Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi) at Huralazim wetland and estimates the risk of consumption at 7 stations of Huralazim wetland in spring 2018 (one season). A statistic populations included sediment (n=21), water (n=21) and fish (n=21). The concentration of aromatic hydrocarb...

Recently sorption of organic pollutants, in particular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has received much attention and researchers agree that organic matter (the amount of organic matter and its nature) is the most important factor affecting the sorption, desorption and fate of organic pollutants in soil and sediments. It is well documented that organic matter of soil and sediments is ...

A new concise route to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) through radical addition and cyclisation of xanthates is described.

The large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules coronene, benzo[GHI]perylene, and anthracene have been ionized with femtosecond laser pulses at low laser intensities and the ionization process studied with velocity map imaging spectroscopy, supplemented with ion yield measurements. The electron spectra of coronene and benzo[GHI]perylene are structureless. Based on fluence and pulse duration...

background: the incomplete burning of fuel in engine of vehicles, evaporation of petrol from gas stations, and also car carburetor cause unburned hydrocarbons to be emitted in ambient air of cities and gas station locations. from unburned hydrocarbons; monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon influence to citizen's health and benzene is known as carcinogenic compounds. the objectives of this study are t...

Meteorites contain bio-relevant molecules such as vitamins and nucleobases, which consist of aromatic structures with embedded nitrogen atoms. Questions remain over the chemical mechanisms responsible for the formation of nitrogen-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PANHs) in extraterrestrial environments. By exploiting single collision conditions, we show that a radical mediated bimo...

A new 3.2–3.5 µm spectrum of the protostar Mon R2/IRS-3 confirms our previous tentative detection of a new absorption feature near 3.25 µm. The feature in our new spectrum has a central wavelength of 3.256 µm (3071 cm −1) and has a full-width at half maximum of 0.079 µm (75 cm −1). We explore a possible identification with aromatic hydrocarbons at low temperatures, which absorb at a similar wav...

Human erythrocytes have been used as a model for evaluating the chemical carcinogen-plasma membrane interaction. The carcinogenic aromatic amines 2-acetylaminofluorene, dimethylaminoazobenzene, and 3'-methyldimethylaminoazobene stabilize erythrocytes against lysis in hypotonic solution. In general, the stabilization potential of these compounds reflects their oil:water partition coefficients an...
