Description
Summary:The paper is a review of the PAH emission inventories and the results of ambient air measurements of PAHs on regional a local level and determination of PAHs in other abiotic and biotic samples in the Czech Republic (CR). The main sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the country are associated with electric and thermal energy production, waste incineration, road traffic and some industrial processes (e. g. high-temperature coal carbonation, catalytic cracking of crude oil and aluminium production).
