Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic chemicals with two or more benzene rings arranged in various structural configurations resulting in a wide diversity of physical, chemical, and toxicological properties. PAHs are ubiquitous in the environment and originate from incomplete combustion of natural deposits (such as oil, coal, tar, wood, and petroleum) and as a consequence of human activities (such as fuels, vehicle emissions, rubber, plastics, and cigarettes). PAHs are classified as health harming chemicals, potentially as human carcinogens and endocrine disrupters. As a consequence, most countries across the world monitor and regulate the presence of PAHs in the environment, food products, and drinking water.
