“…This can be also explained by the role of fog droplets. They can serve as an efficient carrier of particulate and gas-phase pollutants due to an enhanced particle scavenging effect through the nucleating and collision process [41,42], possibly resulting in higher levels of PM 2.5 and  8 PAHs in foggy days. This was further supported by significant and moderate correlations between  8 PAHs and PM 2.5 (Data not shown).…”

Close proximity to roadways has been associated with higher exposure to traffic-related air pollutants. However, analyses of the effects of season and meteorological parameters on horizontal gradient patterns of traffic-generated air pollutants still need to be elucidated. Our objectives were to: (1) determine effects of season on horizontal gradient patterns of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total suspended particles (TSP), and PM 2.5 near a heavily trafficked highway; and (2) Atmosphere 2011, 2 534 measured on weekends were 12-37% lower than those on weekdays, respectively, corresponding to lower diesel traffic volume. This study suggests that people living in the close proximity to highways may be exposed to varying levels of Σ 8 PAHs , TSP, and PM 2.5 depending on distance to highway, season, and day-of-the-week variations.

A physical description of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) is given, both in terms of their characteristic nature in the atmosphere and the processes which control their deposition. The currently adopted methods used to measure the atmospheric concentrations of SVOCs have been summarised, along with their shortcomings. Techniques and associated problems have also been reviewed for measurements of atmospheric deposition. A summary has been given of the requirements necessary for a full assessment of atmospheric SVOCs and their deposition.
