The Mediterranean region, distinguished by its cultural heritage and industrialization, suffers from significant pollution levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to frequent petroleum-related activities such as petroleum extraction and consumption. Being dominant pollutants, PAHs cause significant deterioration of historic buildings and materials. This review comprehensively explores PAH-induced heritage deterioration, especially PAH-induced microbial deterioration, and explores current solutions and future perspectives for cultural heritage preservation.
