Monthly particle-phase ambient samples collected at six sampling locations in Yuxi,a high-altitude city on the edge of Southeast Asia,were measured for particle-associated PAHs.As trace substances,polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)are susceptible to the influences of meteorological conditions,emissions,and gas-particulate partitioning and it is challenging job to precise quantify the source and define the transmission path.The daily concentrations of total PM2.5-bound PAHs ranged from 0.65 to 80.76 ng/m3,with an annual mean of 11.94 ng/m3.Here,we found that the concentration of PM2.5-bound PAHs in winter was significantly higher than that in summer,which was mainly due to source and meteorology influence.The increase of fossil combustion and biomass burning in cold season became the main contributors of PAHs,while precipitation and low temperature exacerbated this difference.According to the concentration variation trend of PM2.5-bound PAHs and their relationship with meteorological conditions,a new grouping of PAHs is applied,which suggested that PAHs have different environmental fates and migration paths.A combination of source analysis and trajectory model supported local sources from combustion of fossil fuel and vehicle exhaust contributed to the major portion on PAHs in particle,but on the Indochina Peninsula the large number of pollutants emitted by biomass burning during the fire season would affect the composition of PAHs through long-range transporting.Risk assessment in spatial and temporal variability suggested that citizens living in industrial areas were higher health risk caused by exposure the PM2.5-bound PAHs than that in other regions,and the risk in winter was three times than in summer.
