Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the first type of chemicals that were ever discovered to cause cancer in humans. They are found in cigarette smoke, in barbecued and smoked foods, in automobile and Diesel engine exhaust, fireplace smoke, and many other common things that people are exposed to. Analyzing for PAHs in the environment is important in identifying potential sources of cancer exposure and eliminating these as risks. The smaller PAHs, those of lower than 300 molecular weight, have been the most studied and have also been covered in several books. No books have dealt with the analysis of the larger PAHs. These compounds are not only important for the health concerns, but they are also of current technological and scientific interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A comprehensive Cover of the Subject,
By Socrates Acevedo (Carrizal, Edo. Miranda Venezuela) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Large (C> = 24) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Chemistry and Analysis (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book which I strongly recommend to every one involved with PAH. It cover the subject completely :nomenclature, synthetic methods old and new, theorethical aspects, spectroscopy properties (UV, IR, MS, fluoresce, X-rays, photoelectron spectra, among others)The properties of more than 170 large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons LPAH are reviewed with emphasis in synthesis, petroleum, coal, hidrocraking, laser desorption MS,pyrolisis and carcinogenetic aspects. The book contain a large number of valuable references in each of the 12 chapter it contains
