TLDR
It appears that agricultural soils and vegetables in Tianjin, especially those from the site located immediately next to an urban district and irrigated with wastewater for several decades, are severely contaminated by PAHs.About:

Bioavailability and risk assessment of orally ingested polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Aramandla Ramesh,Stormy A. Walker,Darryl B. Hood,María D. Guillén,Klaus Schneider,Eric H. Weyand +5 more
TL;DR: Based on intake, disposition, and tumorigenesis data, the exposure risk to PAHs from diet, and contaminated soil is presented to provide a framework for refinements in risk assessment of PAHS from a multimedia exposure perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhalation exposure to ambient polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and lung cancer risk of Chinese population
TL;DR: The lung cancer risk for the Chinese population caused by inhalation exposure to PAHs was higher than in western China, and populations in major cities had a higher risk of lung cancer than rural areas, while the spatial variability was high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil
TL;DR: In this article, concentrations of 20 PAHs in 225 topsoil samples from 12 geographic regions were evaluated, and the results support the hypothesis that PAH mixtures in soils are dominated by two major source patterns, a background and a human-made one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endophytic bacteria: prospects and applications for the phytoremediation of organic pollutants.
TL;DR: A better knowledge of plant-endophyte interactions could be utilized to increase the remediation of polluted soil environments and to protect the foodstuff by decreasing agrochemical residues in food crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
The status of soil contamination by semivolatile organic chemicals (SVOCs) in China: a review.
TL;DR: The principal component analysis demonstrated different distribution patterns for PAH, PCB and PCDD/F congeners and for the various sites/regions examined, and the isomer ratios of DDTs and HCHs indicated different sources and residue levels in soils.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the diet.
TL;DR: Diet is the major source of human exposure to PAHs, and exposure to nitro-PAHs through food consumption appears to be very low.
Book
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Chemistry and Carcinogenicity
TL;DR: The aim of this monograph is to clarify the relationships between structure-activity relationships, metabolic activation, DNA binding, and mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and the properties of polyarenes and to propose new synthetic methods for dealing with these relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic pollutant accumulation in vegetation.
TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the study of organic pollutant accumulation in vegetation can be found in this paper, where the authors recommend that additional field studies be done on the uptake of industrial pollutants by native plants and that empirical models and controlled exposure experiments be validated under field conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in vegetables grown in an industrial area.
TL;DR: Principal component analysis indicated that the mixture of PAHs in inner vegetable tissue was very similar to that in air vapour thus suggesting gaseous deposition as the principal pathway for the accumulation ofPAHs.
