Contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of mangrove swamps
TL;DR: The concentrations of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (sigmaPAHs) and 15 individual PAH compounds in 20 surface sediments collected from four mangrove swamps in Hong Kong indicated that PAHs in mangroves sediments might originate from oil or sewage contamination (petrogenic input).

Pattern, sources and toxic potential of PAHs in the agricultural soils of Delhi, India.
TL;DR: PAH content of urban agricultural soil was found to have more carcinogenic potential and isomer pair ratios and Principal component analysis suggested biomass and fossil fuel combustion as the main sources of PAHs.

Parking Lot Sealcoat: An Unrecognized Source of Urban Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
TL;DR: It is shown that a previously unidentified source of urban PAHs, parking lot sealcoat, may dominate loading ofPAHs to urban water bodies in the United States.

Distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils at Guiyu area of China, affected by recycling of electronic waste using primitive technologies
TL;DR: PAH concentrations in the Guiyu soil were affected by the primitive E-waste recycling activities, which indicated that PAHs were mainly distributed into three groups in accordance with their ring numbers and biological and anthropogenic source.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Estonian soil : contamination and profiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution and accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soil as well as PAH profiles have been investigated in areas with different anthropogenic pollution such as the city of Tallinn, the towns of Parnu and Kohtla-Jarve and some rural areas.

Sorption of hydrophobic pollutants on natural sediments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sorption of hydrophobic compounds (aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated polycyclic aromatic compounds) spanning a concentration range in water solubility from 500 parts per trillion (ppt) to 1800 parts per million (ppm) on local pond and river sediments.

A Physical Concept of Soil-Water Equilibria for Nonionic Organic Compounds
TL;DR: Soil-water equilibrium data suggest that the transfer of nonionic chemicals from water to soil may be described in terms of a hypothesis of solute partitioning in the soil organic matter.

Particle and gas dry deposition: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized numerical values of particle and gas dry deposition velocities and recommended a model developed by Sehmel and Hodgson for numerical prediction purposes, which was used for particle prediction purposes.

Effects of ambient temperature on aspects of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this paper, the Langmuir adsorption concept was introduced for three-to-five-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapor phase and in the particulate phase (PAHs/sub pat) and total suspended particulate (TSP) in ambient air.
