PAHs are chemicals released into the air from the burning of coal, diesel, oil and gas, or other organic substances such as tobacco. They accounted for other factors such as second-hand smoke exposure, lead, mother’s education and the quality of the home caretaking environment. In urban areas motor vehicles are a major source of PAHs.
