First sentence: The sources and distribution of PAHs have been reviewed in Chaps. 4 (Howsam and Jones) and 5 (Simoneit), and serious concern has been expressed on account of unequivocal evidence that many of them are able to induce tumors both in mammals (Chap. 11, Cavalieri and Rogan) and in fish (Chap. 15, de Maagt and Vethaak).
