Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrocarbons composed of two or more benzene rings, and they are widely found in nature. The degradation of PAHs remains in a dynamic equilibrium, which has suffered from the increasing PAHs emissions under the continuous development of society. Therefore, the environmental pollution is getting increasingly serious. Many scholars have conducted researches on the degradation of PAHs. In this paper, the origin and properties of PAHs are introduced. Besides, the physical, chemical and biological methods for the degradation of PAHs were reviewed. Among them the biodegradation of PAHs has been especially analyzed. Meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of each method were described through comparison.
