Atmospheric behaviors of particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Beijing, China from 2004 to 2010
Atmospheric PAHs and NPAHs were investigated in Beijing from 2004 to 2010. The PAH and NPAH levels decreased in heating season during our study periods. High wind speed can remove the PAHs and NPAHs in the heating season. High relative humidity can remove the PAHs and NPAHs in the non-heating season. Source control measures also helped to reduce air pollution in Beijing.
