“…The seasonal variability of PAH concentration and vaporparticle partitioning in the atmosphere have been reported for other cities, including Chicago, London, and Hong Kong (Cotham and Bidleman 1995;Gustafson and Dickhut 1997;Odabasi et al 1999;Kendall et al 2001;Lee et al 2001). In those studies, significant differences were observed in both PAH concentrations and in vapor-particle partitioning.…”

“…[42][43][44][45] These ratios should be carefully used because PAHs are emitted from a variety of sources and their profiles can be altered due to their reactivity, 46 meteorological conditions, sampling and analytical methods.…”

. The same most abundant compounds were obtained in PM10 samples and a total mean mass of 8.99 ng m -3 was determined. Diagnostic ratios were calculated and vehicular emissions were determined as the potential sources for PAHs in particulate matter. The contribution of both light duty and diesel engines is significant, but the cluster and factorial analysis failed to classify clearly in gasoline or diesel emissions.

“…Moreover, they can have different profiles depending on the geographical location, the type of sources and the dominant atmospheric characteristics [10]. To identify possible sources of these compounds, diagnostic ratios were used.…”

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.
