GlossaryPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

organic compounds with multiple fused aromatic rings

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic compounds composed of multiple aromatic rings fused together. They are primarily formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials like coal, oil, gas, wood, and tobacco. PAHs are known for their potential carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic properties, making them significant environmental pollutants and health hazards.
