摘要:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in suspended particulate matter (SPM) contribute significantly to health risk. Our objectives were to assess the size distribution and sources of 26 PAHs and 11 polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in SPM in the suburban area, Shanghai city, China. Air sampling was carried out on the rooftop of a five-stories building in the campus of Shanghai University. An Andersen high-volume air sampler was employed to collect ambient size-segregated particles from August to September 2015. The toxic particulate PAHs were determined by the gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The concentrations of total PAHs (TPAHs) in SPM and PM
