Abstract
Concentrations of 10 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), the aliphatlcs as a group, sulfate, nitrate, fluoride, acidity, and carbon In the airborne partlculate matter were measured at 16 sites In Cleveland, OH over a 1 year period during 1971 and 1972. Analytical methods used included gas chromatography, colorimetry, and combustion techniques. Uncertainties in the concentrations associated with the sampling procedures, and the analytical methods are evaluated. The data are discussed relative to other studies and source origins. Benzo(a)pyrene and its high concentrations downwind of coke ovens are discussed. Hydrocarbon correlation studies indicated no significant relations among compounds studied.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
