Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are the compound which consists of multiple benzene rings bonded in straight, groups or angular forms. They are also found in atmospheric aerosols. In the atmosphere, they can be emitted primarily as a result of incomplete combustion of natural sources (fossil fuels, forest fires, smoke etc.) or anthropogenic sources (coal burning, vehicular emissions, smoke, etc.) or secondarily by atmospheric processes. Depending on the anthropogenic sources, PAHs may occur in significant concentration in urban and industrial ambient air, i.e., bounded with particulate matter (PM). A particle whose aerodynamic diameter is B 10 lm is called PM 10 . Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is among the most toxic and carcinogenic PAHs. Both PM 10 and BaP are among the 12 criteria pollutants listed in Indian National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In this paper, BaP concentration in PM 10 collected in a representative site of New Delhi was studied during the year 2014-2015. The average concentration of BaP is varied from 0.04 to 25.7 ng m -3 . The uncertainty components in measurements were also estimated along with statistical analysis. The most significant uncertainty component is the purity of the BaP standard which has the highest uncertainty contribution as 77%.

There are several exciting developments noted in gas and aerosol measurements in recent years. On the other hand not much work has been done on the calibration facility, traceable standards, and certified reference materials for this field of science. More attention and concerns are needed for the comparable and SI traceable data quality in gas and aerosol measurements. The aim of this special issue of MAPAN-Journal of Metrology Society of India is to highlight such issues.
