Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to elucidate (1) atmospheric sources and concentration levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivatives in East Asia by observation studies, (2) secondary formation of PAH derivatives in the atmosphere, and (3) adverse health effects induced by atmospheric particulates transported from Asian continent.
