TLDR
In this paper, the influence of fluidized bed combustion (FBC) temperature and coal rank on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions was assessed, and the results showed that the total PAH emission depends mainly on the pyrolytic process and to a lesser degree on the combustion efficiency.About:

Source Apportionment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Urban Atmosphere: A Comparison of Three Methods
Randolph K. Larsen,Joel E. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: The sources of PAHs to ambient air in Baltimore, MD, were determined by using three source apportionment methods, principal component analysis with multiple linear regression, UNMIX, and positive matrix factorization.

Biomass combustion in fluidized bed boilers: Potential problems and remedies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the major issues concerned with biomass combustion with special reference to the small scale fluidized bed systems (small to pilot scale). Problems have been identified, mechanisms explained and solutions have been indicated.

Source apportionment and source/sink relationships of PAHs in the coastal atmosphere of Chicago and Lake Michigan
TL;DR: In this article, multivariate statistical techniques were used to investigate source apportionment and source/sink relationships for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the urban and adjacent coastal atmosphere of Chicago/ Lake Michigan in 1994-1995.

A Review on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Emissions from Energy Generation
TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art on their sampling and analytical procedures are commented, and the influence of the fuel, fossil and nonfossil fuels, the combustor type and the combustion variables are analyzed concerning polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) formation and emission in solid/gaseous phase.

Combustion-Derived Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Environment—A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and discuss some of the factors that affect the production (type of fuel, amount of oxygen, and temperature) and environmental fate of combustion-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Fundamentals of Air Pollution Engineering
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a rigorous and fundamental analysis of the production of air pollutants and their control, including the formation of gaseous pollutants in combustion processes, and a thorough treatment of the internal combustion engine, including its principles of operation and the mechanisms of formation of pollutants therein.

Long-range transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this article, a long-range transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) has been demonstrated for air samples, collected on glass fibre filters at Birkenes in southern Norway and Rorvik in western Sweden and analyzed by glass capillary gas chromatography.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from fluidized bed combustion of coal
TL;DR: The most volatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remaining in the flue gas leaving cyclones placed at the exit of a fluidized bed coal combustor and classified by the US EPA as priority pollutants were trapped on filters and adsorbents, dissolved in dimethylformamide and analysed by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.
