Characterization, identification of ambient air and road dust polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in central Taiwan, Taichung
TLDR
Correlation studies between PAHs concentrations and meteorological parameters were revealed that temperature has greater effects than other meteorology parameters such as wind speed, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure on g-PAHs and p-PAhs.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the contribution of road traffic emissions to particulate matter concentrations from field measurements: A review
Pallavi Pant,Roy M. Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the nature of the particle emissions from road vehicles including both exhaust and non-exhaust (abrasion and re-suspension sources) and briefly reviewed the various methods available for quantification of the road traffic contribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and human health hazards of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in road dust of Isfahan metropolis, Iran.
Naghmeh Soltani,Behnam Keshavarzi,Farid Moore,Tahereh Tavakol,Ahmadreza Lahijanzadeh,Nemat Jaafarzadeh,Maryam Jafarkhani Kermani +6 more
TL;DR: Estimated results of ILCR indicate that Isfahan residents are potentially exposed to high cancer risk via both dust ingestion and dermal contact and possible ecological risk reveals that among the analyzed metals, Cd and Pb, have a higher potential ecological risk.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban surface dust of Guangzhou, China: Status, sources and human health risk assessment
Wei Wang,Min juan Huang,Yuan Kang,Hong-Sheng Wang,Anna Oi Wah Leung,Kwai Chung Cheung,Ming Hung Wong,Ming Hung Wong +7 more
TL;DR: Ninety-six urban surface dust samples collected from Guangzhou, a typical urban center in South China, were analyzed for PAHs, and four hotspots with highest ∑PAHs were identified via kriging prediction mapping, representing the highly-urbanized regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics, toxicity, and source apportionment of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in road dust of Ulsan, Korea
Trang T.T. Dong,Byeong-Kyu Lee +1 more
TL;DR: Principal component analysis showed that PAHs in road dust from Ulsan originate from four main sources: diesel vehicular emissions, oil combustion, gasoline vehicle emissions, and coal combustion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration and source identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM10 of urban, industrial and semi-urban areas in Malaysia
Anas Ahmad Jamhari,Anas Ahmad Jamhari,Mazrura Sahani,Mohd Talib Latif,Kok Meng Chan,Hock Seng Tan,Firoz Khan,Norhayati Mohd Tahir +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ambient air were determined at two sites within the Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur (urban, KL) and Petaling Jaya (industrial, PJ), and one site outside the KL Valley, Bangi (semi-urban, BG).

Sources of fine organic aerosol. 3. road dust, tire debris, and organometallic brake lining dust: roads as sources and sinks
Wolfgang F. Rogge,Lynn M. Hildemann,Lynn M. Hildemann,Monica A. Mazurek,Glen R. Cass,Bernd R.T. Simoneit +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the organic constituents present in fine particulate (d_p ≤ 2.0 µm) road dust, brake lining particles, and tire tread debris (not size segregated) were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
