Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were produced by thermoreaction (incompletely combustion) of organic compounds such as fuel, gasoline, diesel etc, and were known the strong carcinogenic compounds. In our country, a study for health risk assessment of PAHs in air were needed according to rapidly increasing of motor vehicle and progressing to industrial country. In this study, concentrations of PAHs in 263 air samples of fourteen sites-Seoul, Pusan, etc-according to four times sampling for one year are measured by GC/MSD for basic research for health risk assessment. As the result, 14 PAHs are detected in all samples and annual average concentration of total PAHs was <TEX>$28.72ng/m^3$</TEX> and highest average concentration of total PARs was <TEX>$47.76ng/m^3$</TEX> in winter season. The concentrations of total PAHs are proportioned to amount of extracted organic material (EOM). The average concentration of total PAHs in EOM was 0.28%.
