Characteristics and thermolysis aspects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: A Review

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemical compounds with known carcinogenic and mutagenic characteristics. The USEPA has classified 16 PAHs as priority pollutants. The carcinogenic and mutagenic character of PAHs is correlated to their stereochemical aspects: structural, electronic, stabi...
