PM2.5 particulate matter (PM) and their associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied at Urban and Sub-urban sites in the western coast of India. The concentration of PM2.5 ranged from 66.29 mu g m(-3) to 182.15 mu g m(-3), being the highest at Sub-urban site than the urban site. There were total six carcinogenic PAHs found to be dominated in particulate samples at these locations. The general trends observed for individual carcinogenic PAHs concentration at urban location was, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)
