Aromatic hydrocarbons are chemicals with benzene rings, including benzene, which is toxic and common in pollutants. Benzene rings have delocalized electrons and can form polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through incomplete combustion. PAHs are toxic and found in many manufacturing plants. Aromatic hydrocarbons may also be abbreviated as AH or arene, and exposure to harmful ones […]
Chlorinated hydrocarbons, or chlorocarbons, are organic molecules with at least one chlorine atom bonded to a carbon atom.
