Abstract
The current ideas of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils are reviewed. Their natural and anthropogenic sources are discussed, and the mechanisms of their arrival from other environmental components to soils are considered. The main processes typical for PAHs in soils are defined; the sorption, degradation, and translocation features of polyarenes in the soil profile are shown. Attention is paid to the geographical features of the PAH distribution in soils. The use of data on the PAHs in soils for the indication of different natural and technogenic processes is also discussed.
