Using benzo[a]pyrene in willow leaves as an indicator for assessing the toxic equivalent concentration of PAHs in a coking industrial area.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), typical persistent organic pollutants, are ubiquitous around coking plants and pose potential ecological and human health risks. This study used readily available willow leaves collected from areas surrounding a coking plant as a passive sampling medium to investigate PAH accumu...
