E. Bernalte,Carmen Marín Sánchez,Eduardo Pinilla Gil,Francisco Cereceda Balic,Víctor Juvenal Vidal Cortez +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of 72 PM10 samples from low-polluted urban and rural locations belonging to the regional air monitoring network of Extremadura (Spain) were collected in a 1 year sampling period.

Distribution And Sources Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Surface Sediments Of The Suez Gulf
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution and sources of aliphatic (n-alkanes and unresolved complex mixture of fossil hydrocarbons) and 16 parent polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed for the sediment samples collected from the coastal area of Suez Gulf, and principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were used to determine the sources of hydrocarbon pollutants in sediments.

Influence of traffic conditions on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon abundance in street dust.
TL;DR: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations were quantified in sieved street dusts from eight sampling sites with different traffic conditions in Beijing to identify the different PAH pollution sources and cooking oil is an important PAH source inStreet dusts for all the sampling sites.

A case study on the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in indoor dust of Serbian households: Distribution, source apportionment and health risk assessment.
TL;DR: In this article , a study was conducted to obtain the first insight into the occurrence, potential sources, and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor dust.

Physically constrained source apportionment (PCSA) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon using the Multilinear Engine 2-species ratios (ME2-SR) method.
TL;DR: An improved physically constrained source apportionment (PCSA) technology using the Multilinear Engine 2-species ratios (ME2-SR) method was proposed and applied to quantify the sources of PM10- and PM2.5-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from Chengdu in winter time, and the results obtained might be physically constrained and satisfactory.

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.
