Preferred Label : Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons;
NCIt definition : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are a large class of organic compounds containing
two or more fused aromatic rings made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They have high
melting and boiling-points, low vapour pressure, water solubility, and are highly
lipophilic. PAH are produced during incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic
matter, are found in cigarette smoke, motor vehicle exhaust, used motor lubricating
oil, broiled meat, coal tar, crude oil, creosote, roofing tar, dyes, plastics, and
pesticides. Some members of PAH class were shown to have carcinogenic, genotoxic,
and immunotoxic properties, developmental toxicity and affect reproductive health.
