Abstract
THE carcinogenic activity of some of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons1,2 present in common materials has focused considerable attention on the properties and isolation of this group of compounds. Many methods for their isolation have been reported which are based, in general, on procedures involving partition3–6, adsorption7–9 or complex formation9,10, used either singly or in combination.
