Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Cosmetic Products

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), cause environmental challenges and health hazards due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity and long-range transport. As pure chemicals, PAHs usually exist as colorless, white or pale yellow-green solids. They have teratogenic properties that make their presence in carcinogenic, mutagenic neurodegenerative disorder and consumer care products an environmental health concern.

Trace PAH formation is possible in drinking water, cosmetics, food additives and factory emissions. It is therefore important to monitor their concentration in the medium or in products. In contact with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), it can be absorbed by the human system, redistributed between organs, metabolized, stored or excreted in the human body, may adversely affect the respiratory, reproductive and neurological systems after ingestion, or cause birth defects and cancer.

Considering these reasons, the presence of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in cosmetic products, as in many products, and their compliance with the relevant standards and regulations should be analyzed.
