Size-fractionated PM-bound PAHs in urban and rural atmospheres of northern Thailand for respiratory health risk assessment*

Wittawat Insian et al.

Summary: During the smoke haze season, higher concentrations of particles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found in rural areas compared to urban areas, with the highest PAH concentrations in the finest particles. Conversely, during the non-smoke haze season, urban areas had higher concentrations due to traffic emissions.

PAHs and nitro-PAHs in urban Beijing from 2017 to 2018: Characteristics, sources, transformation mechanism and risk assessment

Yunfeng Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics, sources, formation mechanism, and health risk assessment of PAHs and NPAHs in PM2.5 collected from an urban site in Beijing from 2017 to 2018. The results showed that PAHs and NPAHs had the highest concentrations in the winter campaign and exhibited distinct diurnal variations. Vehicle exhaust, biomass burning, and coal combustion were identified as important sources of PAHs and NPAHs, while secondary formation in the atmosphere contributed significantly to NPAHs, especially in the spring and summer campaigns.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their alkylated, nitrated and oxygenated derivatives in the atmosphere over the Mediterranean and Middle East seas

Marco Wietzoreck et al.

Summary: This study reports the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivatives in the air over the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Gulf. The Arabian Sea region has the lowest pollutant concentrations, while the Mediterranean Sea region has the highest burden of PAHs and OPAHs, and the Arabian Gulf has the highest abundance of NPAHs.

Three years of atmospheric concentrations of nitrated and oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and oxygen heterocycles at a central European background site

Barbora Nezikova et al.

Summary: This study presents the first multi-year temporal trends of NPAHs and OPAHs in air from a rural background site in the Czech Republic. The results show downward trends for several targeted compounds, indicating that emission reductions of PAHs are effective for co-emitted NPAHs and OPAHs.

Occurrence and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons derivatives in environmental matrices

Agnieszka Krzyszczak et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been growing attention to the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) derivatives containing oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur in different environmental matrices. Their increased toxicity and sources highlight their importance in the environment. Studies have found that nitrogen-containing PAHs are more vulnerable to photooxidation, and the detection of O- and N-PAHs in airborne particles accounts for a significant portion of total mutagenicity.
