Predication Of The Sources Of Particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In China With Distinctive Characteristics Based On Multivariate Analysis, Ruoyu Wang
Ruoyu Wang
Particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have the characteristics of high carcinogenicity, degradation resistance, and long-distance transport. It is necessary to determine the critical sources that contribute to PAHs in atmospheric particulatematter (PM), soils, and sediments. In the present study, particulate PAHs were collected from Chinese cooking, biomass combustion, waste incineration, coal combustion, and petroleum combustion in different regions of the Chinese mainland. Through linear regression analysis, the relationships have been investigated between different measurement units, including the mass of particulate PAHs per mass of particle matter, mass of particulate PAHs per volume of …
