“…The average total concentration in Cuernavaca (24.0 ng·m −3 , Σ15 PAHs) was similar to that reported in Taichung, China (22.29 ng·m −3 , Σ15 PAHs) [13] and in Seoul, Korea (26.14 ng·m −3 , Σ14 PAHs) [14]. It was lower than that reported for Nanjing (62.58 ng·m −3 , Σ15 PAHs) [6] and Jinzhou, China (190.86 ng·m −3 , Σ13 PAHs) [15].…”

This study was carried out between January and February 2013, at two sites in the city of Cuernavaca, México, using low-volume equipment. Fifteen Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The total average concentration observed for PAHs was 24.0 ng·m −3 , with the high molecular weight compounds being the most abundant. The estimated equivalent concentration for Benzo (a) P (BaPE) was 4.05 ng·m −3 . Diagnostic ratios together with the principal components analysis (PCA) allowed for establishing coal burning and vehicle OPEN ACCESSAtmosphere 2015, 6 1260 emissions as being the main sources of these compounds in the area. The PAHs used to calculate this index account for 51% of the 15 PAHs identified, which probably involves a risk to the exposed population.

“…Physico-chemical behavior of particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been extensively investigated in most cities worldwide during the past few years (Dachs et al, 2002;Bartkow et al, 2004;Ciganek et al, 2004;Dallarosa et al, 2005a, b;Fang et al, 2005;Schnelle-Kreis et al, 2005;Pongpiachan, 2006;Wang et al, 2006;Vasilakos et al, 2007;Pongpiachan, 2013a, b;Pongpiachan et al, 2013a, b). PAHs are a group of organic compounds that are generated during the incomplete burning of lignite (Liu et al, 2012), fuels (Lu et al, 2012), volcanic eruption (Schwandner et al, 2013), biomass (Sanchis et al, 2014), garbage (Chen et al, 2013), or other organic substances, such as tobacco (Chalbot et al, 2012).…”

In Northern Thailand, wildland fire during cold period releases large amounts of smoke and fine particles into the atmosphere. The fine particles include several persistent organic compounds such as PAHs. In this study, PM 2.5 -bound PAH concentrations in the air of nine administrative provinces, namely Chiang-Mai, Chiang-Rai, Nan, Phayao, Mae Hong Son, Phrae, Lampang, Lamphun, Uttaradit (N Thailand) were determined during the wildland fire and non-wildland fire seasons. The monitoring strategy comprised two campaigns in each season. PM 2.5 was collected using MiniVolTM portable air samplers (Airmetrics) with quartz fibre filters. Both PAHs and their B[a]P Equivalent concentrations of other urban cities around the world were significantly higher than those of northern provinces for both seasons. The average cancer risks observed at nine administrative provinces were 8.525 × 10 -4 ± 3.493 × 10 -3 and 2.558 × 10 -3 ± 6.986 × 10 -3 for ingestion rate of 50 and 100 mg day -1 , respectively. The excess cancer risks of world cities for ingestion rate of 50 and 100 mg day -1 were much higher than those of Northern Thailand for 851 and 567 times in that order. Dust ingestion was exceedingly critical to non-dietary PAH exposure in comparison with PM 2.5 inhalation. These results are in good agreement with those of previous studies, underlining the significance of indoor air quality on long-term adverse respiratory diseases in Asian cities.

“…Recently, lots of studies have been conducted to investigate atmospheric PAH levels and sources in different cities around the world including urban sites (Guo et al, 2003;Bourotte et al, 2005;Tan et al, 2006Tan et al, , 2011Wang et al, 2006Wang et al, , 2008Kume et al, 2007;Li et al, 2009Li et al, , 2014Kong et al, 2010;Gao et al, 2012;Martellini et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013), industry/traffic sites (Manti et al, 2005;Hong et al, 2007), harbor sites , farm area (Fang et al, 2005) and residential area separately and the PAH levels exhibit wide ranges in these studies. Some measurements are conducted to compare the differences of PAH levels in different function zones in urban areas (Lodovici et al, 2003;Kong et al, 2010).…”
