In continuation of the PAHs-from-coals-story, Wiebke Meyer published additional data and findings on the toxic potential of PAHs deriving from different coal types in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The article titled "Polar polycyclic aromatic compounds from different coal types show varying mutagenic potential, EROD induction and bioavailability depending on coal rank" reports on mutagenicity and dioxin-like activity of coal-derived PAHs. Wiebke found that the toxic properties differ between coal types, and also some are better available to organisms than others, thus might more likely cause adverse effects.
