Abstract

Soil samples from the urban road and roadside often exhibit a high concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This contamination is attributed to vehicular exhaust emissions. After their release into the atmosphere, the PAH particulate matter eventually is deposited on the surface of the road and its surrounding areas. In order to develop a theoretical approach to quantify and predict the transport of PAH particulates from the atmosphere to the roadside soil, the estimation of particulate buildup in the atmosphere is a prerequisite. In the present study, empirical and temporal expressions of particulate buildup in the atmosphere have been developed. The developed site-specific expressions, coupled with other non–site-specific expressions can be used for indirect estimation of PAH particulate load in the soil of urban road networks.
