Based in part upon this pioneering research, a National Academy of Sciences Committee suggested in their 1972 document Particulate Polycyclic Organic Matter that photolysis, photooxidations, and gas-particle interactions might lead to significant degradation of PAHs in ambient particles and formation of products more polar than the parent PAHs (NRC, 1972).

The production of coke by the carbonization of bituminous coal leads to the release of chemically complex emissions from coke ovens that include both gases and particulate matter of varying chemical composition. The chemical and physical properties of coke oven emissions vary depending on the constituents. The emissions include coal tar pitch volatiles (e.g., particulate polycyclic organic matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons), aromatic compounds (e.g., benzene and jS-naphthyl amine), trace metals (e.g., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel), and gases (e.g., nitric oxides and sulfur dioxide).

Recently, the application of short term bio-assays to a variety of emission and ambient particulate samples has demonstrated that other compounds than PAH, most likely PAH-derivatives, can be responsable for a major part of the observed biological activity of the extracts. These results have forced us to widen our interest to the field of particulate polycyclic organic matter (POM), which besides hetero-atomic PAH (polycyclic aromatic compounds, PAC, containing nitrogen or sulfur) may also contain oxidized, nitrated, or sulfonated derivatives of PAH, formed in exhausts, emission stacks, plumes or during transport through the atmosphere.
