Abstract
Wet deposition samples were collected by using a collection plate between June 2007 and April 2008, in Eskişehir, Turkey. Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in precipitation samples by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Atmospheric gas and particulate phase PAH concentrations in the sampling location were also determined. Significant difference in atmospheric concentrations and precipitation samples were observed. Annual PAH flux was found comparable with other cities in Turkey and calculated around 177.2±120.4 μg m^-2 day^-1. Wet deposition was noticed an important mechanism on removal of PAH compounds from atmosphere.
