Persistent contaminants in waste oils: a short review on PCBs and PAHs as main contaminants

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) include organochlorine compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered as POP-like chemicals because of their similar characteristic. One source of entry of PCBs into the environment is from the improper...
