Progress in Materials Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 144, С. 101289 - 101289

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

This comprehensive review explores the potential of tailored carbon materials (TCM) for efficient photocatalytic degradation polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are persistent and toxic organic pollutants posing significant environmental challenges. The unique structure properties TCM including graphene nanotubes to activated dots, have projected them as next-generation technological innovation. A careful critical discussion state-of-the-art research sheds light on their effectiveness in catalyzing breakdown PAHs, projects suitable management environment. Beyond this viewpoint, article expands scope 1) biomedical healthcare, 2) energy storage conversion, 3) advanced electronics. challenges, opportunities, future perspectives related role applications, inspiring further research, innovation photo-induced techniques also carefully discussed article. focused serves a valuable resource researchers industrialists interested harnessing capabilities carbon-based sustainable PAHs other pollutants. It addresses pressing need effective remediation pollution control strategies.

Sources, Occurrences, and Risks of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydro-Carbons (PAHs) in Bangladesh: A Review of Current Status

Atmosphere, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(2), С. 233 - 233

Опубликована: Фев. 15, 2024

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution has emerged as a significant environmental issue in Bangladesh the recent years, driven by both economic and population growth. This review aims to investigate current trends PAHs research, covering sediments, water, aquatic organisms, air particles, associated health risks Bangladesh. A comparative analysis with research other countries is conducted, potential future directions are explored. suggests that on less well studied fewer publications compared countries. Dominant sources of fossil fuel combustion, petroleum hydrocarbons, urban discharges, industrial emissions, shipbreaking, shipping activities. The concentrations organisms were found be higher than those most around world. Therefore, coastal sediments showed areas. Health risk assessments reveal carcinogenic non-carcinogenic residents due consumption organisms. According this investigation, it can concluded there considerably different compartments Bangladesh, which have received attention Considering these circumstances, recommends should focus ecosystems, shipbreaking areas, direct exposure human risks. study addressing identification PAH sources, bioaccumulation, biomagnification food web, biomarker responses benthic research.

Appraisal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor dust of Eastern Nigeria and its implications in the COVID-19 years

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14, С. 100424 - 100424

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

The risk assessment of PAHs in settled indoor dusts from different localities Awka, Ekwulobia, and Rumuodomaya-Ogale, Eastern Nigeria, were investigated. Settled dust samples (n = 144) collected the windows floor using brush analysed for with GC- FID. Dust showed higher total concentrations than order; Rumuodomaya-Ogale > Ekwulobia Awka. 3- 4-ring dominant window Awka all months, while 3-ring compound Ekwulobia. PAH a significant difference across months (p<0.05). In 3, 4, 5-ring supersede dust. This that is major sink 3-5-ring PAHs. compounds; BaA, DahA, Ant, BaP, DBA contributors to benzo(a)pyrene as toxicity equivalence (BaPTEQ) values incremental life cancer was < 1.0 × 10−04 study area; hence, increased activities during COVID-19 lockdown had no effect on human health populace.

Anthropogenic impact on soils of protected areas—example of PAHs

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 27, 2023

The following study presents the concentrations of 10 individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs10) and total concentration PAHs (ΣPAHs) determined in soils protected areas Southern Poland (EU). discussed here include 5 landscape parks nature reserves located Małopolska region. Surface soil samples were collected at 39 locations characterised by different natural conditions human pressure level. used to determine contents anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, chrysene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene naphthalene. These ranged from < 0.005 6.34 mg/kg. When considering legal regulations currently force, this meant that permissible values exceeded 23% analysed, while increased found another 26% samples. limit most case benzo[b]fluoranthene benzo[a]pyrene. This occurred with vicinity transportation routes, mainly local roads. In naphthalene not exceeded. Increased or excessive do occur major industrial plants near boundaries parks, which indicates how these pollutants spread. paper also points need develop new solutions improve method for assessing their impact on valuable areas.
