Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) are by-products of combustion. There are
a large number of compounds that are classified as PAHs; some, such
as benzo(a)pyrene, are carcinogenic. We have published
research showing that
pyrene is a good generic marker of PAH exposure and that urinary
1-hydroxypyrene is a suitable biomarker. HSE has set a GB
guidance value for
1-hydroxypyrene in urine (4 µmol/mol
creatinine).
