Abstract |
Although the carcinogenicity of brown coal tar has still not been investigated fully, it is possible to estimate it through research into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation during the low-temperature carbonization of brow coal. This article provides data, in particular, on benzo(a)pyrene concentration in workplace air in various parts of brown coal tar production plants. |
