Abstract
The dominant source for PAH air pollution at Risø was Roskilde with 40,000 inhabitants situated 6 km south of the sampling site. Far distant sources of PAH were estimated to be insignificant. Benzo(a)pyrene and cyclopenteno(cd)pyrene were shown to decay in the atmosphere by means of the dependencies of the ratios of benzo(a)pyrene to benzo(e)pyrene and of cyclopenteno(cd)-pyrene to chrysene + triphenylene on the wind direction and on the PAH pollution level.
The decay appears to be relatively fast.
