Characterization of urban pollution in two cities of the Puglia region in Southern Italy using field measurements and air quality (AQ) model approach

Original language description

Passive air sampling (PAS) consisting of polyurethane foam (PUF) disks were deployed simultaneously over four periods of 2-5 months at four locations in urban and sub-urban sites of Bari and San Vito Taranto in Southern Italy. The purpose of the study was to characterize the urban pollution for two groups of semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by using two different approaches consisting of PAS-PUF and air quality models(Flexible Air quality Regional Model, FARM). The concentrations in the air ranged from 20 to 200 pg m(-3) for PCBs and from 5 to 48 ng m(-3) for PAHs with the highest concentrations being detected at Bari center. PCB composition was dominated by the 3-Clcongeners (periods 1 and 2) and by 5-Cl (periods 3 and 4). PCB-28 and -37 were the most abundant congeners during the four periods. The PAHs profile was dominated by the 3-ring (70 +/- 6)%, with phenanthrene alone accounting for (49 +/-
