The method of EPR spectroscopy is applied for the first time in the systematic quantitative estimations of earbonaceous solids presentas aerosols in the urban air. The quantitative data obtained are in concert with the estimations using other conventional methods, The advantage of the EPR method in such estimations is that itis not destructive, exhibit selectivity only to paramagnetie species wh~ch are in fact the pyrolyzed produr and not to other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the anaiyses ate simple, time saving and [nexpensive.
