Abstract: Chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ClPAHs) is a kind of halogenated organic pollutions in urban atmospheric. As a new type of organic pollutants, ClPAHs has the similar toxic effect with the dioxin and widely exists in the environmental media, which poses a potential threat to the ecological environment and human health. The current situation and latest research progress of ClPAHs on toxic effect, formation mechanism, the source of ClPAHs, contamination level, and environmental behaviors are presented in this paper.
