Abstract Atmospheric PM2.5 size particulate-associated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed from December 2018 to May 2019 over three traffic sites of Chota Nagpur Plateau (CNP) of India were analyzed to study their temporal and seasonal variations. Over the last few decades, CNP becomes a hotspot of air pollution due to traffic and anthropogenic activities. The PM2.5 concentration was higher than the value given by the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standard value. The results show the total average concentration of PAHs was found 141.48±22.86, 163.80 ±30.43, and 171.60±26.23 ng/m3 over site (Adityapur) ADP, (Sakchi) SKI, and Mango (MGO), respectively. The PM2.5 total average concentration was found 67.91± 14.04, 79.70± 13.53, and 103.20± 21.77µg/m3 over site ADP, SKI, and MGO, respectively. Diagnostic ratio analysis reveals that the source of PM2.5 associated with PAHs was petrogenic, pyrogenic, coal combustion, and vehicular emission. Backward trajectories model and fire count data were also used for air parcel movement up to height 4500 m above the earth’s surface. The traffic campaign has provided a rare opportunity for the CNP region for the collection of more air pollution baseline data, which could be helpful in the formulation of air pollution reduction policies in the future

Solid-phase microextraction in combination with gas chromatography and mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and for identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air of the city of Astana, Kazakhstan. The screening of the samples showed the presence of mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, phenols, and benzaldehydes. The concentrations of naphthalene were 5-7 times higher than the permissible value, it was detected in all studied air samples. Average concentration of naphthalene was 18.4 μg/m3, acenaphthylene – 0.54 μg/m3, acenaphthene – 1.63 μg/m3, fluorene – 0.79 μg/m3, anthracene – 3.27 μg/m3, phenanthrene – 0.22 μg/m3, fluorantene – 0.74 μg/m3, pyrene – 0.73 μg/m3. Average concentrations of BTEX in the studied samples were 31.1, 84.9, 10.8 and 11.6 μg/m3, respectively. Based on the statistical analysis of the concentrations of BTEX and PAH, the main source of city air pollution with them was assumed to be vehicle emissions.
