Sažetak
Concentrations of eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM10 particle fraction were measured together with ozone and nitrogen dioxide concentrations at an urban site (Zagreb, Croatia) in order to find the relationship between the measured pollutants and selected meteorological parameters. Samples were collected in the period 1 January – 31 December 2009. It was found that all PAHs showed seasonal variations with high concentrations in winter and very low concentrations during the summer months. All eight PAHs also correlated well with each other. Statistically significant negative correlation was found between all PAHs and ozone and PAHs and temperature, and a positive correlation between PAHs and nitrogen dioxide and relative humidity. Multivariate regression analysis showed that ozone, temperature, relative humidity and pressure accounted for 40 to 57 % of PAH variability.
