摘要
A total of 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in particulate matter of size less than 10 microns (PM10) collected on glass fibre filters from six sampling stations in urban and suburban Coimbatore, India. Total PAHs in samples ranged between 20 - 172 ng/m(3) with an average 90.37 +/- 57.4 ng/m(3). Samples of urban and industrial area are found with higher PAH concentrations than the suburban/rural samples, indicating traffic and industrial sources as a major anthropogenic source for PAH. In the current study, naphthalene was observed highest in concentration in samples (15.9 - 50.12 ng/m(3)).
