- Understanding the geographic contributions of particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is crucial for the Korean peninsula, especially since it's downwind of major source areas.
- Previous studies have identified regional influences on particulate PAHs using diagnostic ratios, but none have quantified the source contributions.
- A four-year study using a new multivariate receptor model in Seoul revealed that local mobile sources contribute 70% and regional sources contribute 30% to the overall particulate PAHs levels, highlighting different episodic contributions over time.
