Part of the book series: Topics in Molecular Organization and Engineering ((MOOE,volume 2))

Abstract

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are among the most dangerous pollutants in the Arabian Gulf region. They are produced in the atmosphere as a result of incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of fossil fuels and other organic materials. Their main sources, in that part of the world, are the petrochemical industry and the ever-increasing number of cars in the region. There exists no pollution control system for either the factories or cars, thus causing a continual environmental loading by PAH.
