“…The data for PAH concentrations in PST and PM 10 are lower than those measured in Shijiazhuang, China (Feng et al, 2007) and New Delhi, India (Dhruv, 2003), they are similar to those found in Seoul, Korea, Jakarta, Xiamen, China and Bangkok, Thailand (Panther et al 1999;Hong et al, 2007, Thongsanit et al, 2003, but are significantly higher than those observed in Italy (Menichini et al, 1999), London (Kendall et al, 2001), Gran Canaria (2003, Greece (Kalaitzoglou et al, 2004) and California, USA .

“…The seasonal variability of PAH concentration and vaporparticle partitioning in the atmosphere have been reported for other cities, including Chicago, London, and Hong Kong (Cotham and Bidleman 1995;Gustafson and Dickhut 1997;Odabasi et al 1999;Kendall et al 2001;Lee et al 2001). In those studies, significant differences were observed in both PAH concentrations and in vapor-particle partitioning.…”

“…Given the variability in the concentration of PAHs emitted into the atmosphere, often diagnostic ratios between them are used in order to estimate the possible sources [20]. However, they should be used with caution, if one considers, for example, reactivity with some of the PAH species such as NOx, O3, etc.…”

This study was carried out between January and February 2013, at two sites in the city of Cuernavaca, México, using low-volume equipment. Fifteen Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The total average concentration observed for PAHs was 24.0 ng·m −3 , with the high molecular weight compounds being the most abundant. The estimated equivalent concentration for Benzo (a) P (BaPE) was 4.05 ng·m −3 . Diagnostic ratios together with the principal components analysis (PCA) allowed for establishing coal burning and vehicle OPEN ACCESSAtmosphere 2015, 6 1260 emissions as being the main sources of these compounds in the area. The PAHs used to calculate this index account for 51% of the 15 PAHs identified, which probably involves a risk to the exposed population.
