Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Monitoring

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) monitoring involves detecting and measuring PAHs, which are chemical compounds formed during burning of organic materials like coal, oil, and wood. PAHs can be harmful to health and the environment if present in high levels. Monitoring typically uses specialized instruments to collect air, water, or soil samples, analyzing them for PAHs to assess pollution levels. This process helps identify sources of contamination, evaluate exposure risks, and ensure regulatory compliance to protect public health and ecosystems.
