Abstract

Hydrocarbons are very important as efficient energy sources in our day-to-day life. But apart from their application point of view, the most concerned area is their toxicity. A large number of literatures are being reported describing the toxicity from the last few decades. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the most common type of toxic hydrocarbons, most abundantly found in nature. Exhaust gas from motorbikes, combustion of coal, wood, and petroleum products are the major sources of those hydrocarbons. They are entering into the human or animal body by means of breathing, through skin, food, and water samples and caused various diseases including cancer. This makes their detection and extraction very much important. In this chapter, we have tried to sum up the source, contamination, and health effects of those hydrocarbons along with their detection and extraction techniques in combination with nanomaterials, reported so far. Major emphasis has been given on nanostructure-based sensing technique due to additional advantages and future point of view.
