The Development Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Determination Method In Jiaxing Inspection Bureau Has Entered The Stage Of Achievement Pformation.

Entrusted by the science and Technology Department of the AQSIQ, the Zhejiang science and Technology Bureau of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau organized Shanghai.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), known as PolycyclicAromaticHydro? Carbons (PAHs), are the general names of more than 100 chemical structures, and 16 of them were listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 1979.

In November 16, 2005, the European Parliament and the European Union Council signed in Strasbourg, France, and issued the 2005/69/EC directive in December 9th of the same year to limit the use of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

The European Committee on toxicity, ecotoxicity and Environmental Science (CSTEE) has confirmed that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are harmful to human health, which are carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproductive system, and are likely to cause skin cancer, lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal tumors, arteriosclerosis and infertility.

Because PAHs are widely distributed, they may exist in charcoal, crude oil, wood distillate, tar, mineral oil, drugs, dyes, plastics, rubber, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, mosquito repellent incense, smoking, gasoline depressants and other materials.
