The atmospheric gas and particle phase concentration of Benzo [a] Pyrene (BaP) of which carcinogenic effect is more than the other PAH compounds were investigated by using Tecora hi-vol sampling instrument (average 0.320 m </span> <span style="font-size: 6.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’; vertical-align: 3.000000pt">3 </span> <span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’">min </span> <span style="font-size: 6.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’; vertical-align: 3.000000pt">-1 </span> <span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’">). The rst 28 days of sampling period were between February 5 - March 15, while the other part, 23 days, were between March 16 - April 7. The average concentration of total (gas+particle) amount of BaP in the period of February- March was measured as 10.25 ± 9.18 ng m </span> <span style="font-size: 6.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’; vertical-align: 3.000000pt">3 </span> <span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’">, whereas it was measured as 4.45 ± 1.47 ng m </span> <span style="font-size: 6.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’; vertical-align: 3.000000pt">3 </span> <span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: ’TimesNewRomanPSMT’">in the period of March- April. Furthermore, the values of the daily and monthly concentration of BaP were compared with the literature and it was observed that the present values were close to the values in the regions with the same characteristics.  </span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Igdir University}
