| Abstract: | Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in atmospheric particulate matter in 11 sites of the Valencia area and at several times during the year. Sample analysis was carried out by ultrasonic acetonitrile extraction followed by reverse phase HPLC separation and fluorescence detection. The maximum concentration of total PAH developed in winter and spring. Mean values per sampling site varied from 0.193 to 1.668  g/m3 of filtered air. Environmental noise and temperature were determined at those same 11 sites and correlated with PAH levels. |
