Particulate matter bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Toxicity and health risk assessment of exposed inhabitants
TLDR
In this article, the toxicological profile of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with airborne particulate matter (PM) was assessed and the combined results derived from diagnostic ratios and factor analysis suggested that the vehicular emission (Diesel + gasoline) and coal combustion in the vicinity of study province are probable sources of PM bound PAHs.About:
