compounds are mainly pyrogenic, while Flouranthene/Pyrene Ratio and InP/(InP+BghiP) Ratio is pyrogenic+
petrogenic origin and petrogenic or pyrogenic and Ant/(Ant+ Phen) Ratio was pyrolytic. The higher regional
mean concentrations of PAHs were recorded in station 10, while the lower in Station 1. The higher seasonal mean
concentrations of PAHs are recorded during winter season, while the lower during summer season.
