The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous organic compounds of global concern. They pres-ent mutagenic and carcinogenic characteristics, in addition to a wide variety of other adverse effects in the or-ganisms. They are widely distributed in marine environments, implying several health risks for both ecosystems and public health. Therefore, require constant monitoring and tailoring of preventive measures for their control. This review is based on the PAHs original research within coastal-marine environments published along the past ten years in America, considering the main environmental matrix such as sediment, water, organisms, and air. The review shows an outstanding PAHs monitoring activity led by USA and Mexico –at all matrix-, followed by Argentina, Brazil and Chile which demonstrate a rising environmental concern on these compounds, focused in highly anthropized areas. The present data for South America is still scarce, including many areas with null information. This review demonstrates that along all the continent and all matrixes, detectable concentrations of PAHs from multiple sources are reported, with levels ranging from minimum to extremely high. Keywords: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), marine environments, America.

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>

The concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gasoline combustion products emitted into the atmosphere by internal combustion engines (ICE) has been measured using the gas chromatography method. The concentrations of PAHs in the exhaust gases sampled behind a catalytic converter has been determined when the ICE operates in five modes: idle mode, high speed mode, load mode, ICE cold start mode (engine warm-up) and transient mode. Using 92 RON, 95 RON and 98 RON gasoline the effect of the octane number of gasoline on the PAHs content in the exhaust gases has been revealed. The concentration of the most carcinogenic component (benzo(α)pyrene) in the exhaust gases behind a catalytic converter significantly exceeds a reference value of benzo(α)pyrene in the atmospheric air established by the WHO and the EU for ICE in the load mode.
