To investigate the variations and sources of -alkanes and sugars in Taian City during summer, PM samples were collected from July 22 to August 19, 2016. The identified -alkane and sugar sources were investigated using a principal component analysis (PCA) multiple linear regression (MLR) model and a backward trajectory model. The results showed that the mass concentrations of PM during summer were (37.

The sources of the PAHs were analyzed by using diagnostics ratios and the principal component analysis (PCA)-multiple linear regression (MLR) model,and the health risk of PAHs was assessed by BaP equivalent concentrations (BaP) and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR). The results showed that the mass concentrations of PAHs in PM during winter were (64.

The PM samples were analyzed for the compositions, concentrations, and sources of water-soluble inorganic ions, oxalic acid, and levoglucosan. The sources of these chemical compound were investigated using principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression (MLR) modeling.
