Beschreibung
The volumes 3/I (Chemistry) and 3/J (Biology) present diverse aspects of the environmental chemistry and ecology of PAHs and related compounds. Emphasis has been placed on a wide range of aspects not generally covered in other presentations. They cover not only basic aspects of the chemistry, analysis, sources, physico-chemical determinants of environmental distribution, and dissemination of PAHs, but also important areas such as heteroarenes, and PAHs produced from naturally occurring alicyclic precursors. Atmospheric degradation and transformation of PAHs are discussed as well as microbial metabolism of both PAHs and heteroarenes. Conventional and important new aspects of mammalian metabolism and the induction of cancer are presented, and the procedures used for demonstrating the structure of adducts involving PAH metabolites are discussed in detail.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play important roles in everyday life as well as in industrial activities. The authors - internationally well recognized scientists - present an integrated thorough overview on the ecology of PAHs and their heterocyclic analogs. Extensive cross-referencing between chapters provides researchers with an easy access to all major areas of PAHs research.
