Abstract

At the present time mass-spectrometric analysis widely used in atmospheric researches. Mass spectrometry provides with high probability to observe the content of many organic compounds in atmospheric aerosol samples. Due to anthropogenic pollution, the particulate matters are one of the major and dangerous air components. Detrimental effect on human health as a consequence of the presence in their composition carcinogens and mutagens. This study includes the analysis of chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol in the range of 2.5 pm and less. HRMS ESI method was used for the samples, collected throughout all year round. EPA US separated 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from others to show potentially high risk of carcinogenic activity. The main goal of this work was to focus our research in search of these compounds in urban air of St. Petersburg city of Russia.
