Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are becoming a major component of atmospheric toxic pollutants (ATPs) in Guangzhou city, China. Studies showed that ATPs may have adverse health effect in urban area. An investigation on particulate- and vapor-phase distribution of n-alkanes and PAHs in urban atmosphere has been conducted. In LiWan district, 24h sampling for three consecutive days was performed in April and July 2001 at ground level. For comparison, samples were also collected on a nine-story building, ca. 25 m above ground level. The ambient concentrations of Sigman-alkanes and SigmaPAHs, compositional variations including molecular diagnostic ratios, natural biogenic and investigated. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
