BS PD CEN/TR 16998:2016

BS PD CEN/TR 16998:2016 is focused on the presence of nitro- and oxy-PAHs in ambient air. It describeshow nitro- and oxy-PAH are formed, what typical concentrations are found, what is known about theirtoxicity, and what sampling and measurement techniques are available.The conclusions of this report are that nitro- and oxy-PAHs concentrations are present in theatmosphere in levels that are of concern regarding their high toxicity. Information on the presence ofthese compounds in ambient air is as relevant as information about PAHs. Validated techniques for themeasurement of nitro- and oxy-PAHs are available.Cross References:EN 12341:2014EN 15549:2008ISO 12884:2000
