Clays are a class of complex micro-heterogeneous and can be used as a substrate for adsorption. The sorption behavior of solid-phase enhanced by the presence of surfactants, organoclay, is an important phenomenon studied by environmental technology for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) anthropogenic sources from water. This work aims to study the photophysical behavior of anthracene as a model of HPA systems in microheterogeneous clay-surfactant-metal ions (M (II) = Cd (II), Cu (II), Hg (II), Ni (II) and Pb (II); surfactants: CTACl; SDS; TR-X100). The experimental assays were conducted by monitoringchanges in the static properties of fluorescence and anthracene emission suppression; anthracene was used as fluorescent probe. M(II)ions, like Cd(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II)were used as anthracene fluorescence suppressors. The profile of the fluorescence spectrum and the results of the suppression of fluorescence of the probe allowed inferring the specific place ofthe anthracene solubilization into the micro-heterogeneous systems studied and the consequent arrangement of them.

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>

The concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gasoline combustion products emitted into the atmosphere by internal combustion engines (ICE) has been measured using the gas chromatography method. The concentrations of PAHs in the exhaust gases sampled behind a catalytic converter has been determined when the ICE operates in five modes: idle mode, high speed mode, load mode, ICE cold start mode (engine warm-up) and transient mode. Using 92 RON, 95 RON and 98 RON gasoline the effect of the octane number of gasoline on the PAHs content in the exhaust gases has been revealed. The concentration of the most carcinogenic component (benzo(α)pyrene) in the exhaust gases behind a catalytic converter significantly exceeds a reference value of benzo(α)pyrene in the atmospheric air established by the WHO and the EU for ICE in the load mode.
