Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to discuss the hazard presented by polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soil and the workplace, to describe the requirements for soil treatment for these compounds, and to discuss potential occupational exposures which should be avoided. This report will present basic information on the history of these compounds, their toxicity, work sites effected in the Air Force, and discuss some alternatives to disposal through removal to a land site.
