PAHs in road dust of Nanjing Chemical Industry Park, China: chemical composition, sources, and risk assessment.
TL;DR: The application of the ILCR model for PAHs in road dust showed a higher carcinogenic risk for children and adults on the sub-arterial roads in winter, indicating a high potential carcinogenicrisk at the Chemical Industrial Park.
Identification, abundance and seasonal variation of anthropogenic organic aerosols from a mega-city in China
TL;DR: In Nanjing, a typical mega-city in China, during summer and winter 2004 and were characterized for aromatic and cyclic compounds using a GC/MS technique to understand the air pollution problem.

TL;DR: PAC emissions from an oil sands tailings pond estimated using passive air samplers. Air-side concentrations and fluxes of ∑unsubstituted PAHs, ∑alkylated PAHs, and ∑dibenzothiophenes were elevated downwind of the pond. Total PAC flux was 896 µg/m2/day, equivalent to 460 kg/year on an annual basis.
Fine particles sampled at an urban background site and an industrialized coastal site in Northern France - Part 1: Seasonal variations and chemical characterization.
TL;DR: The size-resolved chemical composition showed that aerosols sampled in DO in winter are more aged than those collected in GS where fresh emissions of sulfate from the industrial sector were observed.

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.
