The study of the Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs) in astronomical environments has opened interesting spectroscopic questions on the effect of anharmonicity on the infrared (IR) spectrum of hot polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and related species in isolated conditions. The forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope will unveil unprecedented spati...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are pervasive pollutants globally, and exposure has been linked to developmental toxicity in the early life stages of many species. Oil spill disasters such as Deepwater Horizon can result in a large and concentrated release of PAHs directly into aquatic ecosystems. Previous studies have demonstrated that exp...
Abstract Morphological abnormalities in crustaceans have been registered and several are attributed to pollution and others anthropogenic activities. This study reports for the first time a temporal record of the amount and variety of morphological abnormalities in Acartia lilljeborgii, in an impacted neotropical estuary. The specimens were obtaine...
The anthropogenic impact in the Wouri Estuary Mangrove located in the rapidly developing urban area of Doula, Cameroon, Africa, was studied. A set of 45 Persistent Organic Pollutant were analysed in surficial mangrove sediments at 21 stations. Chlorinated Pesticides (CLPs), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs...
This thesis investigates the optical, kinetic, and thermodynamic properties of soot precursor molecules, namely polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by applying \textit{ab initio} quantum chemical methods. In particular, density functional theory (DFT) is applied to study the properties of several different types of PAHs, including curved PAHs, locali...

Exposure to environmental chemicals has been recognized as one of the possible contributors to CKD. We aimed to identify environmental chemicals that are associated with CKD. We analyzed the data obtained from a total of 46,748 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2016). Associations of chemicals mea...

BackgroundHousehold air pollution from solid fuels is a leading risk factor for morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pregnant women's exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), two components of solid-fuel smoke, is associated with adverse birth outcomes. Even with improved solid-fuel stoves, exposure t...
ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify the scientific evidence on the development of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases due to workplace contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Methods: integrative literature review. The search for primary articles was held in October 2017 in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (th...
