Objective: To analyze the pollution levels, seasonal distribution and source characteristics of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in atmospheric PM2.5 of Tangshan City, and to assess their potential health risks to the population. Methods: A total of 866 PM2.5 samples were continuously collected from two representative areas in Tangshan City during 2019—2023. The mass concentrations of 16 PAHs were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Diagnostic ratio analysis and principal component analysis were comprehensively applied to identify the pollution sources, and the inhalation-based carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks were evaluated. Results: The total PAHs concentration in Tangshan City showed a significant downward trend from 2019 to 2023(P<0.001), with the annual average concentrations being 12.64, 4.51, 2.24, 3.09, and 2.14 ng·m-3 in sequence. Meanwhile, the total PAHs concentration exhibited obvious seasonal characteristics, presenting a “U-shaped” distribution pattern with higher levels in winter and lower levels in summer(P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the mass concentrations of 16 PAHs between different areas(P>0.05), and their component compositions were basically consistent. PAHs were dominated by 4-to 6-ring congeners, among which the proportion of 6-ring components increased significantly in winter. PCA extracted one principal component that explained 82.80% of the total variance; this component mainly consisted of phenanthrene(Phe), fluoranthene(Flu), pyrene(Pyr), chrysene(Chr), benzo[a]anthracene(BaA), benzo[b]fluoranthene(BbF), benzo[a]pyrene(BaP), dibenzo[a,h]anthracene(DahA), benzo[ghi]perylene(BghiP) and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene(IcdP). In the non-carcinogenic risk assessment, the hazard quotient(HQ) of BaP was greater than 1 in both 2019 and 2020, with the risk being particularly prominent in winter(HQ=2.049). In the carcinogenic risk assessment, the 5-year average concentrations of BaP and BghiP resulted in excess carcinogenic risk and lifetime carcinogenic risk higher than 1×10-6 for populations aged 2-16 years and over 16 years, and the risks also showed seasonal characteristics of higher levels in winter and lower levels in summer. In terms of age stratification, the carcinogenic risk was the highest in adults, followed by adolescents and then children. Conclusion: The PAHs concentration in PM2.5 of Tangshan City decreased year by year from 2019 to 2023, but the health risks in winter cannot be ignored. The pollution sources are mainly fossil fuel combustion, coal burning and motor vehicle emissions. It is suggested that the relevant authorities should focus on strengthening the control of industrial and mobile sources in winter, and implement health protection interventions for adults and outdoor workers. |
