Abstract

Pyrenes belong to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and are reported to cause cancer or mutations in living organisms,'thus making them the largest class of chemical carcinogens today. Pyrenes are formed when organic materials are burned or strongly heated. They are produced in larger amounts under inefficient combustion conditions. Analysis of the complicated mixtures of polycyclic aromatic compounds in the ...
