文摘
- •
Polycyclic aromatic compounds in street dusts of Kumasi, Ghana are characterized
- •
Oxygenated PAHs and azaarenes are strongly correlated with PAHs
- •
PAHs are highly enriched in street dust compared to background soils
- •
Concentrations of several oxygenated PAHs and azaarenes are higher than related PAHs
- •
Incremental lifetime cancer risk due to PAHs in street dust is > 10− 6
