Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major source of environmental contamination. The origin of PAH contaminated soil includes abandoned manufactured gas sites, leaking underground storage tanks, wood treatment sites and current industrial processes [1–4]. Due to the carcinogenic and recalcitrant nature of many of these compounds, there is considerable concern over this widespread contamination [5].
