The main objective of this project is to perform a study on the existence of 7 Carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) in 3 major environmental media primarily consists of water, air soil/sediment. To achieve the primary objective, several procedures are applied to perform analysis of water, soil/sediment and air samples to proof on the existence and study the distribution and interaction of the 7 Carcinogenic PAHs in 3 major environmental media stated and to focus on the application of software-generated model to predict and demonstrate the distribution and interaction of the 7 Carcinogenic PAHs which are harmful to human health and comes from multiple combustion of carbon-containing fuels sources.
