Environmental contaminants such as the monocyclic aromatic group and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) group can be found in practically all industrial areas. Pollution by these compounds are primarily associated with the processing, combustion, and disposal of fossil fuels. Industrial effluents from coal gasification and liquification processes, waste incineration, coke, carbon black, coal tar, and other petroleum-derived products are all major sources of contamination.
