| Abstract: | An investigation on PAH in the atmospheric particulate matter of the city of Naples has been carried out. Urban atmospheric particulate matter was sampled in three sampling sites (West, East and central areas of the city), whose characteristics were representative of the prevailing conditions. In each site, 24 h samplings for 7 consecutive days were performed during three sampling campaigns, in 1996–1997. The results were comparable with those reported in literature for similar investigations. Total PAH were in the range 2–130 ng m−3, with a seasonal variation (autumn/winter vs. summer) in the range 1.5–4.5. The relative contribution of diesel engines vs. gasoline fuelled engines was evidenced. |
