Abstract
A number of studies have reported the contents of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in PM (particulate matter) in cities. These studies were published from 2000 to 2019 and include analyses of PAH contamination in response to rapid socioeconomic development in China, considering population increases, growing energy demand, and increases in industrial production. Publications in the scientific literature were selected following the eligibility criteria described below. Original studies published in English databases (e.g., Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley) and excellent works published in Chinese databases (e.g., CNKI, CQVIP, and Wanfang Data) were included. We searched for papers and books with the keywords “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the particulate matter”, “PAH in the particulate matter”, “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in PM”, “PAH in PM”, and “City, China”. Thus, we retrieved almost all the relevant reports about PAHs in PM in Chinese cities. After removing duplicate or incomplete data, we collected data on the contents of 16 PAHs in PM in 89 cities in 34 provinces of China.
