This video will show you where contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, go when they enter the environment and how you can be exposed to them. Knowing where they are can help you avoid those areas and reduce your risk of coming into contact with harmful chemicals. English transcript (pdf)

Un grupo de químicos que estamos estudiando son los hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos o HAPs. Estos son químicos que causan preocupación porque algunos HAPs son tóxicos o pueden causar cáncer en seres humanos y animales silvestres. Los HAPs se encuentran a menudo en sitios Superfund y también son uno de los principales contaminantes que causan preocupación en los derrames de petróleo, como el reciente derrame de petróleo en el Golfo de México.
