Fig. 2From: Contrasting biological potency of particulate matter collected at sites impacted by distinct industrial sourcesPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content of particles collected in the vicinity of industrial sites. PAHs were grouped according to volatility (volatile: acenaphthene, fluorine, phenanthrene, anthracene; semi-volatile: fluoranthene, pyrene, retene, benz(a)anthracene, chrysene; particulate-associated: benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, indeno(123-cd)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, benzo(ghi)perylene) and compared across sites and size-fractions.
