Seasonal variations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the air of Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic

The purpose of this study was to compare the concentrations of 18 PM10-bound PAHs (i.e., 16 major PAHs, Coronene (Cor), and Benzo[e] pyrene (BeP)) during winter of 2013 and summer of 2014. The identification of geochemical background of PAHs during the summer season and its application for determination of emission sources during the winter season was conducted as well.
