Chromatography–mass spectrometry identification of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in thermally modified petroleum products and thermal destruction products of organic materials of various origins

Possibilities and Limitations of Solid-Phase and Liquid Extraction for the Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Environmental Samples

“…In addition, PAHs are formed in the course of naturally occurring processes that depend on the presence of living organisms, as a result of abiogenic synthesis (without the participation of biomass, at 500-1000°C) and upon low-temperature changes in organic molecules. The combustion or thermal degradation of polymeric materials [1], the activities of large processing plants [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], and emissions from automobile and air transport [12,13] are the anthropogenic sources of PAHs. In the environment, PAHs are distributed based on their physicochemical properties.…”
