Czech population’s exposure to toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has decreased, a new study shows
Good news: Between 2011 and 2020, the burden of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Czech population decreased. This is shown by a study from the RECETOX team, published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology. The reduction in exposure occurred during a period when several environmental policies were introduced, including the Air Protection Act, the so-called anti-smoking law, and the boiler subsidy programme.
