Abstract
This paper presents national trends in the benzene-soluble portion (BSO) of total suspended particulate matter in ambient air for 1960 through 1970 at 126 urban and 25 nonurban sites. Additionally, trends for benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) present as a component of the BSO fraction, are presented for 1966 through 1970 at 126 urban and 22 nonurban stations. Analyses of BaP and BSO data were also made for 33 urban locations for which data was available for 1971 and 1972. This report in addition to highlighting trends, also identifies areas where above average ambient concentration of BSO and BaP are found.
