After absorption via ingestion or inhalation, they are metabolized into hydroxy-PAHs (OH-PAHs) by enzymes at cyt-P450 and excreted in urine (mainly low-molecular-weight PAHs) or feces (mainly high-molecular-weight PAHs). Despite a large number of toxicological studies, information on PAHs absorption-distribution-metabolism-excretion (ADME) is very limited in humans. The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the human body a...
