The marine environment is regarded as a crucial "sink" of numerous land-origin pollutants. As typical boundary regions, the coastal and offshore areas are used to evaluate the dominating transfer process and land−ocean exchange mechanism of semivolatile organic compounds. In air samples collected from a coastal area in North China over a whole year, chlorinated paraffins (CPs), including short-chain CPs and medium-chain CPs, and prior control 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined, with mean concentrations of 25.8 and 94.7 ng/m 3 , respectively. Results of different gas−particle partitioning models indicated that the steady-state hypothesis provides a better description of the possible land−ocean exchange molecular mechanism. The source−sink influences for CPs and PAHs were affected by the predominant atmospheric motion, which alternated between gaseous diffusion and particulate sedimentation in different seasons. Source apportionment results indicated that different transfer characteristics contributed to the source divergence of ambient CPs and PAHs within 12 nautical miles in the same area. Coal/biomass combustion and diesel/natural gas combustion were the main PAH sources in the coast site (43.1%) and sea site (35.3%), respectively. Similar industrial sources CP-52 and CP-42 were the main CP sources in the coast site (41.4%) and sea site (40.8%), respectively.

“…The concentration of priority PAHs in road dust was higher in Harbin (0.73–31.5 μg/g) than in Tianjin (China, 0.70–7.23 μg/g) [ 35 ], Kumasi (Ghana, 0.18–7.77 μg/g) [ 17 ], and Abadan (Iran, 0.40–11.8 μg/g) [ 36 ], whereas it was similar to that reported in Newcastle (UK, 0.59–46.0 μg/g) [ 16 ]. However, in terms of green belt soil, Pilková et al [ 37 ] pointed out that the range of 16 PAH concentrations was 0.19–22.0 μg/g in roadside soils from Bratislava, Slovakia. Yu et al [ 38 ] reviewed the pollution level of PAHs in urban soils of China and the concentrations of the total PAHs ranged from 0.065 to 23.6 μg/g in urban soil with a mean of 2.80 μg/g.…”

To obtain a comprehensive understanding about that occurrence, sources, and effects on human health of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in road environmental samples from Harbin, concentrations of 32 PAHs in road dust, green belt soil, and parking lot dust samples were quantified. The total PAH concentrations ranged from 0.95 to 40.7 μg/g and 0.39 to 43.9 μg/g in road dust and green belt soil, respectively, and were dominated by high molecular weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs). Despite the content of PAHs in arterial roads being higher, the composition profile of PAHs was hardly influenced by road types. For parking lot dust, the range of total PAH concentrations was 0.81–190 μg/g, and three-ring to five-ring PAHs produced the maximum contribution. Compared with surface parking lots (mean: 6.12 μg/g), higher total PAH concentrations were detected in underground parking lots (mean: 33.1 μg/g). The diagnostic ratios of PAHs showed that petroleum, petroleum combustion, and biomass/coal combustion were major sources of PAHs in the samples. Furthermore, according to the Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk model, the cancer risks of three kinds of samples for adults and children were above the threshold (10−6). Overall, this study demonstrated that PAHs in the road environment of Harbin have a certain health impact on local citizens.
