Relationship of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PaHs) from vehicle emission in air particulate and plant leaves From highway roadsides in Johor, Malaysia

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced from the incomplete combustion of the organic and fossil fuel, and are usually attached to the particulate matter from the emission. Abundance of PAHs occurrence in the atmosphere has the ability to accumulate into vegetation. This study, by using s...
