| The concentration of pyrene in the lipid bilayer as well as the temperature were similar in experiment and simulations. |
| Hplc analysis of the extracts showed that phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene were the most abundant PAHs in all samples. |
| Potential effects of other probes such as pyrene are briefly discussed. |
| The earliest substances identified, in 1953, were benzo pyrene, and other polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, which were known to produce tumours in animal experiments. |
| The biological half-life of pyrene absorbed via the respiratory tract is 9.8 hr. |
| The rapid appearance of pyrene excimers suggested that when micelles were mixed with buffer at pH 8.5, they quickly aggregated. |
