Determination of organic micropollutants in rain water for laboratory screening of air quality in urban environment

摘要

Rain water may collect organic air pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalate ester (Pes), pesticides, and polychrorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that could be present in air in consequence of different factors. The determina- tion of these compounds in rain water samples consequently may be interesting for a first screening of air quality in urban and/ or industrial areas.
