Distribution characteristic of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with PM10 in surrounding of coke oven
Xiaofeng Liu,Lin Peng,Huiling Bai,Ling Mu +3 more
TL;DR: PAHs associated with PM10 in the surrounding of a coke oven are primarily derived from the coking process, with chrysene, BaP, and DbA being the dominant contributors, indicating serious ambient air pollution.
Exploratory study on the pyrolysis and PAH emissions of polylactic acid
TL;DR: In this article, the emission factors for 16 U.S. EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the polylactic acid pyrolysis and the decomposition mechanism were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated distribution and sources of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) bound to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) captured in a semi-urban area in Malaysia during different seasons, and to assess their health risks.
Emission characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from combustion of different residential coals in North China.
TL;DR: A sum of seven carcinogenic PAHs, benzo(a)pyrene(BaP)-equivalent carcinogenic power and total toxicity potency expressed in 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-dioxin(TCDD) toxic equivalence exhibited that bituminous coals and produced honeycomb briquettes had remarkably elevated values.
Characterization and risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban atmospheric Particulate of Tehran, Iran
Mohammad Hoseini,Masud Yunesian,Ramin Nabizadeh,Kamyar Yaghmaeian,Reza Ahmadkhaniha,Noushin Rastkari,Saeid Parmy,Sasan Faridi,Ata Rafiee,Kazem Naddafi +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that gasoline-driven vehicles are the major sources of PAHs in the study area, and risk analysis showed that the mean and 90 % probability estimated inhalation ILCRs were 7.85 – 10−6 and 16.78 × 10−6, respectively.

TL;DR: Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.

PAH source fingerprints for coke ovens, diesel and, gasoline engines, highway tunnels, and wood combustion emissions
TL;DR: In this article, a modified high-volume sampling method (PS-1 sampler) was employed to collect airborne polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in both the particulate and gas phases.

Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Collected from an Urban Location in Birmingham, U.K.
TL;DR: In this paper, a seasonal sampling campaign was undertaken at an urban location in Birmingham, U.K., in which high-volume samplers were used to collect particulate and vapor-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by means of filter papers and polyurethane foam plugs.

Air pollution and daily mortality: a review and meta analysis.
TL;DR: A detailed examination of data from Philadelphia showed that control for season and weather was adequate for removing all long-term seasonal and subseasonal patterns from the mortality data, and that using a very flexible nonlinear fit to the weather factors did not disturb the association with TSP.
