TLDR
The photocytotoxicity of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the priority pollutant list of the United States Environmental Protection Agency were tested in human skin HaCaT keratinocytes and correlates well with several of their excited state properties: light absorption, excited singlet‐ state energy, excited triplet‐state energy, and HOMO‐LUMO energy gap.
