How Does PAH Exposure Affect You?

PAH exposure generally occurs in three settings: at home, outside, or at the workplace.

At home, PAHs are present in smoke from wood fires, creosote-treated wood products, cereals, grains, flour, bread, vegetables, fruits, meat, processed or pickled foods, contaminated cow's milk or human breast milk, and foods grown in contaminated soil.

Outside sources include cigarette smoke, vehicle exhausts, asphalt roads, coal, coal tar, wildfires, agricultural burning, residential wood burning, municipal and industrial waste incineration, and hazardous waste sites.

PAH has also been found in workplaces such as coal tar production plants, coking plants, bitumen and asphalt production plants, coal-gasification sites, smoke houses, aluminum production plants, coal tarring facilities, and municipal trash incinerators.

Additionally, mining, oil refining, metalworking, chemical production, transportation, and the electrical industries all have ties to PAH.
