13. Assertion (A): Some carbonaceous aerosols may be carcinogenic. (Jadavpur University B.A 2017)
Reasons (A): They may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
The assertion that some carbonaceous aerosols may be carcinogenic is incorrect, because carcinogenic refers to the oxidation of unburned ethanol, which occurs due to the combustion of biofuels. However, the reason that carbonaceous aerosols may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is correct. PAHs are a class of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil, and gasoline, and are also produced when substances are burned. PAHs can bind to or form small particles in the air. Some PAHs may cause cancer and may affect the eyes, kidneys, and liver.
