Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
PAHs, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are a category of organic compounds distinguished by their distinctive feature of containing multiple fused aromatic rings.
PAHs are neutral, nonpolar, and flat molecules, with a majority of them being colorless in nature.
PAHs are hydrophobic and lipophilic, exhibiting a nonpolar nature. While smaller PAHs may exhibit some solubility in water, larger PAHs are generally insoluble in both water and organic solvents, as well as lipids.
A significant number of PAHs are naturally occurring and can be found in coal and oil deposits. Additionally, they are generated as byproducts of organic matter combustion, such as in engines, incinerators, and forest fires.
