Abstract

A method not used yet for detection of similarity between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) profiles was applied to selected air samples taken in three localities of Prague. Dissimilarities between PAHs profiles in the Prague atmosphere, solid fuel (coal or wood) combustion, vehicle exhaust, and vehicle exhaust in a traffic tunnel atmosphere indicates that there are other sources of PAHs in the atmosphere of Prague.

The study was supported by City Hall of Prague, Department of Environment which is gratefully acknowledged.
