“…In winter, the individual PAH concentrations were higher (except for Ace) than in summer. Similar seasonal trends were also observed in previous studies [24][25][26]. Higher PAH concentrations in winter are due to the contribution of domestic heating and to the specific meteorological conditions, i.e.…”

“…In our previous study, the average concentrations of fluorene and pyrene, which are considered to be the parent compounds of HFL and HPY, were reported as 0.16 and 0.23 ng/m 3 , respectively. 16 The concentrations of HFL and HPY were about 10-times lower than those of fluorene and pyrene.…”

“…2-Naphthol (2-NPH), 1-naphthol (1-NPH), 2-hydroxydibenzofuran (HDF), 2-hydroxyfluorene (HFL), 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (HPH) and 1-hydroxypyrene (HPY) were selected as analytes because their parent PAHs were relatively abundant in airborne particulates. 16 The proposed method consisted of the ultrasonic extraction of PAHs-OH from airborne particulates, solid-phase extraction with an aminopropylsilica (APS) cartridge and subsequent chromatographic analysis by RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection.…”

“…As mentioned in our pervious report, 16 the filter was cut into small pieces and to these were applied BAE for PAHs and FNF for NPAHs as internal standards. After the filter sample was extracted ultrasonically with hexane, the extract was washed successively with 5% sodium hydroxide and 20% sulfuric acid and water, and then evaporated to dryness.…”

Thirteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and four nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) on the surfaces of airborne particulates, which were collected at an industrial area of a western site of Japan during periods from 1976 to 1998, were retrospectively analyzed. PAHs and NPAHs were extracted from airborne particulates using hexane with ultrasonication, and then analyzed by HPLC systems with fluorescence detection and chemiluminescence detection, respectively. The total concentrations (mean ± SD, n = 34) were 15.54 ± 21.24 ng/m 3 for PAHs and 5.85 ± 8.16 pg/m 3 for NPAHs. The concentrations of PAHs and NPAHs were found to be highest during the period between 1979 and 1982, and then reduced. The annual concentrations of PAHs and NPAHs were highly correlated with those of air pollutants from motor vehicle origin, such as carbon monoxide, suspended particulates and non-methane hydrocarbons. The results suggested that motor vehicle emissions were one of the predominant sources of atmospheric PAHs and NPAHs.
