Polycyclic aromatic compounds in air - importance of re-volatilisation from soils.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their nitrated and oxygenated derivatives (NPAHs, OPAHs) are semivolatile air pollutants which may re-volatilise following atmospheric deposition to soil. Here, we determined polycyclic aromatic compounds' (PACs) concentrations in air, topsoil and air equilibrated with soil a...
