Emissions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Atmosphere: An Indian Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing literature on Indian studies to gather information on the sources and emission rates of polycyclic (Polynuclear) Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and identified vehicular and residential sector as a major source of PAHs emission in many major Indian cities including Ahmedabad, Agra, Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Nagpur.
Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in particulate matter in an urban area of a tropical region: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
TL;DR: In this paper, two nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs), 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NF) were quantified in particulate matter (PM) collected at three ambient air sites (VNU, ITTE and DOSTE) in an urban area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, between January 2005 and March 2006.
Profile of PAHs in the inhalable particulate fraction: source apportionment and associated health risks in a tropical megacity.
Sayantan Sarkar,P. S. Khillare +1 more
TL;DR: Investigating the atmospheric distribution, sources, and inhalation health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a tropical megacity (Delhi, India) showed that a maximum of 39,780 excess cancer cases might occur due to lifetime inhalation exposure to the analyzed PAH concentrations.
Studies on size distribution and health risk of 37 species of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with fine particulate matter collected in the atmosphere of a suburban area of Shanghai city, China
Qingyue Wang,Keisuke Kobayashi,Senlin Lu,Daisuke Nakajima,Weiqian Wang,Wenchao Zhang,Kazuhiko Sekiguchi,Masanori Terasaki +7 more
TL;DR: The toxicity analysis indicated that the carcinogenic potency of particulate PAHs primarily existed in PM1.1, and the highest contributors in the total carcinogenicity were dibenzo[a,h]pyrene and benz[j]aceanthrylene, respectively.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Pollutants in the Asian Atmosphere During 2001 to 2009
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed the concentration variation for atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Asian countries during the years of 2001 to 2009, and found that the order of the average PAH concentration for Flu, Ant, FL, and Chr in total suspended particles was Hong Kong > China > Taiwan > Korea.

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.
