Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their nitrated and oxygenated derivatives in the Arctic boundary layer: Seasonal trends and local anthropogenic influence
A total of 22 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs), 29 oxy-PAHs, and 35 nitro-PAHs (polycyclic aro-matic compounds, PACs) were measured in gaseous andparticulate phases in the ambient air of Longyearbyen, themost populated settlement in Svalbard, the European Arc-tic. The sampling campaign started...
