Intro to Soil Science
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic compounds composed of multiple fused aromatic rings. These compounds are primarily formed through incomplete combustion of organic materials and can be found in coal, crude oil, and tar. PAHs are significant environmental contaminants due to their persistence in soil and potential harmful effects on human health and ecosystems.
