Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were carefully analyzed from terrestrial soils collected at numerous sites in Pakistan and King George Island (sub-Antarctica) and compared with other data around the world. The mean concentrations of An, Pyr, B[a]A, Chry, B[ b + k ]F, B[ a ]P, Ind, D[a,h]A, and B[ g,h,i ]P of world terrestrial soils were significantly ( p
