The fine dust was collected on filters at locations representing conditions of urban background, communication artery and industrial area. Distinctive differences between heating and summer season PAH concentrations were observed. The highest PM2.5 related PAH concentrations were observed in Krakow, within the effect of industrial and traffic sources, equally in summer and heating seasons. For selected cities, relations between the particular PM2.5 related PAHs were determined. The results show that contamination of the investigated PM2.5 with PAHs is considerable and comparable with that in other areas of similar degree of urbanization and industrialization.}, type={Article}, title={Ambient PM2.5 Related PAHs in Urban Areas}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123245/PDF-MASTER/3_AE_VOL_33_3_2007_Cwiklak_Ambient.pdf}, keywords={air pollution, urban areas, PAHs, PM2.5}, }
