Wet-only precipitation samples were
collected using a collection plate between June 2007 and April 2008, in
Eskişehir, Turkey. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in
precipitation samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). PAH
concentrations in the sampling location in atmospheric gas and particle phase
samples were also determined. Significant difference in atmospheric
concentrations and precipitation samples were observed. Annual PAH flux was found
comparable with other cities in Turkey and calculated around 177.2±120.4 μg m^-2
day^-1. Wet deposition was noticed an important mechanism on removal
of semi-volatile organic compounds from atmosphere.
