Abstract: We collected 67 particulate matter (PM2.5) samples in the Beijing Olympic Park from December 2017 to June 2018 to examine the concentration, distribution characteristics and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM2.5, and assess the health risks during the heating season and non-heating season. The PAHs were detected by the GC-MS. The average values of the total concentrations of 16 PAHs associated in PM2.5 in the heating season and non-heating season were 213.6 and 52.5 ng·m-3, respectively. The molecular diagnostic ratios and principal component analysis were applied to apportion the sources of PAHs. The results showed that the sources of PAHs were mainly derived from the combustion of petroleum and coal during heating period, and from vehicular emissions during non-heating period. The health risk evaluation of PAHs was conducted by the model of incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR). There were potential carcinogenesis risks when exposed to PAHs associated in PM2.5.
