Sources and Health Risks of PM2.5-bound PAHs in a Small City along with the “Clean Heating” Policy by Zhiyong Li, Ziyuan Yue, Jixiang Liu, Zhen Zhai, Jianwei Meng, Lei Wang, Jihong Wei, Dingyuan Yang, Ailian Hu, Wenjia Zhu, Ning Ding, Xiaoxia Lu, Chunhao Lin

“…Positive matrix factorization (PMF) demonstrated that biomass/natural-gas burning (BNGB) contributed most to PAHs of 36.9% in the HS, the increased natural gas (NG) usage for heating should be responsible for this contribution due to the policies of biomass-burning prohibition and “Coal to Gas”. Coal combustion (CC) shares increased by 152% in the HS despite the “Coal Banning” project. …”
