The atmospheric concentration of 7 carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is modelled by the Danish Eulerian Hemispheric Model (DEHM) for 42 years from 1979 to 2020. As common by-products of combustion processes, PAHs have been widely measured by different international monitoring systems. Our purpose is to compare modelled data and measured records from world-wide long-term monitoring sites to evaluate the accuracy of DEHM in simulating atmospheric concentrations of the 7 carcinogenic PAHs and lay the foundation for studying PAHs’ large-scale environmental fate. The results show that DEHM can achieve satisfactory accuracy in simulating atmospheric concentrations of these PAHs in the Northern Hemisphere.

摘要

The atmospheric concentration of 7 carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is modelled by the Danish Eulerian Hemispheric Model (DEHM) for 42 years from 1979 to 2020. As common by-products of combustion processes, PAHs have been widely measured by different international monitoring systems. Our purpose is to compare modelled data and measured records from world-wide long-term monitoring sites to evaluate the accuracy of DEHM in simulating atmospheric concentrations of the 7 carcinogenic PAHs and lay the foundation for studying PAHs’ large-scale environmental fate. The results show that DEHM can achieve satisfactory accuracy in simulating atmospheric concentrations of these PAHs in the Northern Hemisphere.
