In this paper, publications from 1993 are classified according to the type of matrix from which the environmental analytes are extracted. Although the most applications of SFE are used for the solid, some analysts have concerned with aqueous and gaseous media. Various aspects of investigation of environmental potential carcinogen, such as, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, pesticides, phenols and other hazardous and toxic pollutants in environmental samples have been reviewed with 55 references. The coupled techniques of SFE have also been introduced in this paper.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011078	Polychlorinated Biphenyls	Industrial products consisting of a mixture of chlorinated biphenyl congeners and isomers. These compounds are highly lipophilic and tend to accumulate in fat stores of animals. Many of these compounds are considered toxic and potential environmental pollutants.

D002274	Carcinogens, Environmental	Carcinogenic substances that are found in the environment.	Environmental Carcinogens
D004147	Dioxins	A family of compounds that contain the 1,4-dioxin structure. Many specific dioxin derivatives are listed as CARCINOGENS; TERATOGENS; or MUTAGENS.	Dioxin

D000393	Air Pollutants	Any substance in the air which could, if present in high enough concentration, harm humans, animals, vegetation or materials. Substances include GASES; PARTICULATE MATTER; and volatile ORGANIC CHEMICALS.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D025924	Chromatography, Supercritical Fluid	A CHROMATOGRAPHY method using supercritical fluid, usually carbon dioxide under very high pressure (around 73 atmospheres or 1070 psi at room temperature) as the mobile phase. Other solvents are sometimes added as modifiers. This is used both for analytical (SFC) and extraction (SFE) purposes.
