The major source of PAHs is the incomplete combustion of organic material such as coal, oil and wood. Some PAH are carcinogenic, allergenic (sensitizer) and toxic. Several are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic in the environment. As a consequence of this, some PAHs are regulated in REACH.
We can help you interpret the legal requirements in REACH and POPs and propose appropriate analysis.
