Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the globalhealth impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ambient air,conducted on the basis of a high-resolution emission inventory, global chemicaltransport modeling, and probabilistic risk assessment. One of the mainstrengths of the thesis is the concentration downscaling process, whichprovides a linkage between emissions and exposur...
