P. Masclet et V. Hoyau, EVIDENCE FOR THE PRESENCE OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS IN THE POLAR ATMOSPHERE AND IN POLAR ICE, Analusis, 22(7), 1994, pp. 130000031-130000033
Monitoring the concentrations of combustion products in the polar arch
ives is an important part of research info human-related pollution and
atmospheric transfer. One family of such compounds, the polycyclic ar
omatic hydrocarbons, is particularly fruitful because the results can
be used to evaluate the variation in the toxicity of the atmosphere si
nce the beginning of the industrial era.
