Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered major players in the physics and chemistry of star‐ and planet‐forming regions. The interstellar PAH hypothesis is based on our understanding of the origin of the aromatic infrared bands (AIBs), a set of bright emission features that are now the focus of observations by the James Webb telescope...
Background and aimsCIRM-CF is a Biological Resource Center (BRC) preserving and offering to the scientific community more than 3,000 fungal strains mainly involved in plant biomass transformation. To provide users with useful information on strains, we launched a large-scale functional phenotyping program to assess their degradation potential towar...

Maternal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ubiquitous constituents of air pollution, has been associated with adverse birth outcomes. Yet it remains unclear whether and how socioeconomic status (SES) affects gestational PAH exposure. To examine whether there are socioeconomic disparities in PAHs exposure among pregnant women from...

To investigate the spatial and temporal distribution, sources, and ecological risk of soil polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in China’s urban agglomerations from 2000 to 2020, a comprehensive search strategy was employed using the keywords “soil”, “PAHs”, and “city”. A total of 122 relevant studies that provided information on individual PAH ...

CONTEPAV project is a research thesis dealing with the environmental impact of WWII shipwrecks in the English Channel. The aim of the project is to assess the potential of contaminants releases into several environmental matrices (water, sediment, biota). The methodolgy is based on different environmental monitoring methods: passive samplers, musse...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contained in a large amount of oily sludge produced in petroleum and petrochemical production has become one of the main environmental protection concerns in the industry. The accurate determination of PAHs is of great significance in the field of petroleum geochemistry and environmental protection. In this s...

Stormwater rapidly moves trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) from the built environment to the aquatic environment. Bioretention cells reduce loadings of some TrOCs, but they struggle with hydrophilic compounds. Herein, we assessed the potential to enhance TrOC removal via changes in bioretention system design by simulating the fate of seven high-pr...

The ocean is the ultimate sink for all pollutants, rivers are important channels for land-based pollutants to enter the oceans. Riverine transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to coastal seas in China poses environmental threats. This study examined the spatial and temporal distribution of PAHs in coastal rivers in Yancheng City in Ji...
