What are PAHs? | The Effects on the Environment from PAHs

[@kefoneskefones1633]

first of all, great video. but i have one question, is ther any of the petroleum destilations that contain little to no PAHs? like the one used for skin care?`i belive its calld petrolium jelly in english

[@Chemistry-matters]

Petroleum jelly would not contain PAHs to any extent due to the purification process that woudl be required. I don't think I have seen any papers on the presence of PAHs in petroleum jelly. They would be a very, very low leves if still present and would not pose any quantifiable risk. Thanks for the comment.

Are PAHs a source of VOC? Can they be removed using an air purifier?

[@Chemistry-matters]

They are considered a semi-volatile organic compound... SVOC. It will depend on the air purifier but for the most part, the general answer will be use, they should be removed by most good quality air purifiers.
