Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminants in agricultural soils: occurrence and remediation
摘要
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrophobic pollutants that are nonpolar and classified as persistent organic pollutants (Ambaye et al., 2022a). They are a major cause of soil pollution and pose a substantial environmental threat (Barathi et al., 2023). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons originate from natural and human activity, including the incomplete burning of diagenesis and hydrocarbons (Wei et al., 2024). Sources are industrial activity, fossil fuel combustion, sewage sludge application, volcanic activity, and forest fires (Wei et al., 2024).
