During the Kuwait oil fires (Feb‐Nov., 1991), exposure to inhalable particulate matter (PM10) was significant and data on PM10‐bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was scarce. Based on daily measurements of PM10 ambient levels and 4 measurements of associated PAHs (10, 15, 23, and 31 May, 1991), particle adsorption characteristics were utilized to describe the patterns of daily levels of PM10‐bound PAHs in Al‐Mansoria residential area (Kuwait city) during the period 10–31 May, 1991. Contrary to what is currently precieved, low levels of PM10 did not reflect low inhalation exposures to adsorbed PAHs. Patterns of daily levels of PM10‐bound PAHs were more related to the extent of PM10 occupancy by PAHs than to PM10 levels in air. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
