Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon in Aquatic Environment
摘要
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a family of organic compounds with numerous fused aromatic rings. Human activity, including fossil fuel combustion and industrial processing, is the primary source of PAH contamination. Their presence in the aquatic environment is of international concern due to their toxicity, hydrophobic properties, bioaccumulation, continuing inputs, and tenacity. The review provided insight regarding the presence of PAHs in the aquatic environment and possible scenarios based on ecotoxicological and risk assessment.
