Concentrations of PAHs from urban and rural areas in southern nigeria using polyurethane foams (PUF) passive samplers: Health impact and cancer risk assessment
Nigeria loses thousands of its populace annually to cancer. Probable upsurge in the atmospheric concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been suggested as a contributor to this menace. This baseline study has evaluated the concentrations of the 16 priority PAHs in urban and rura...
