Ambient air concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PM"1"0 and PM"2"."5 (PM-particulate matter) were determined by collecting air samples in areas both upwind and downwind of the plant. The differences in air pollutant levels between the study area and a reference area 11km away from the plant were evaluated. Dichotomous samplers were used for sampling PM"2"."5 and PM"1"0 from ambient air. Two hundred and twenty samples were obtained from the study area, and 100 samples were taken from a reference area. Samples were weighed by an electronic microbalance and concentrations of PM"2"."5 and PM"1"0 were determined. A HPLC equipped with a fluorescence detector was employed to analyze the concentrations of 15 PAHs compounds adsorbed into PM"2"."5 and PM"1"0. The experimental results indicated that the average concentrations of PM"2"."5 and PM"1"0 were 30.34+/-17.95 and 36.81+/-20.45@mgm^-^3, respectively, in the study area, while the average ratio of PM"2"."5/PM"1"0 was 0.82+/-0.01. The concentrations of PM"2"."5 and PM"1"0 of the study area located downwind of the incinerator were significantly higher than the study area upwind of the incinerator (P |
