“…Furthermore, PAHs present multiple health-86 concerning properties such as mutagenicity, carcinogenicity or teratogenicity, explaining why 87 they have been of major concern [Zhang et al, 2006]. They are classified in two main categories: 88 the low molecular weight PAHs, including molecules bearing three rings or less (naphthalene, 89 acenaphtene, fluorene, phenanthrene, and anthracene) and the high molecular weight PAHs, 90 including molecules of four rings or more (fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, 91 benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(ah)anthracene, 92 benzo(ghi)perylene, and indeno(123-c,d)pyrene) [Megharaj et al, 2001; Von Lau et al, 2014]. 93…”
