Translation of "composés aromatiques polycycliques " (French → English) :

[The high-boiling distillation fraction obtained from the high temperature carbonization of bituminous coal which is further refined to remove excess crystalline salts. It consists primarily of creosote oil with some of the normal polynuclear aromatic salts, which are components of coal tar distillates, removed. It is crystal free at approximately 5 °C (41 °F).]

[The low-boiling distillation fraction obtained from the high temperature carbonization of bituminous coal, which is further refined to remove excess crystalline salts. It consists primarily of creosote oil with some of the normal polynuclear aromatic salts, which are components of coal tar distillate, removed. It is crystal free at approximately 38 °C (100 °F).]

‘polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons’ means those organic compounds, composed of at least two fused aromatic rings made entirely from carbon and hydrogen.

(18) The evidence submitted by the Netherlands indicated certain environmental risks posed by creosote compounds, in particular Policyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, leaching out from creosote-treated wood in contact with surface water and groundwater.

This proposal is intended, inter alia, to confirm 1 January 2009 as the date on which all diesel must have a maximum sulphur content of 10 ppm (parts per million); to reduce the polyaromatic hydrocarbon content of diesel to 8% (instead of 11%); to reduce the maximum sulphur content of non-road gas-oil from 1 000 ppm to 10 ppm for land-based uses and from 1 000 ppm to 300 ppm for inland waterways; to increase the oxygenate content and vapour pressure limit for petrol blended with ethanol, in order to enable a higher volume of biofuels to be used in petrol, with appropriate labelling; and to require fuel suppliers to reduce life-cycle ...[+++](refining, transport and use) greenhouse gas emissions from these fuels by 1% per year from 2009.
