PAHs pollution was serious in haze period compared with that in non2haze period, especially in winter. Compared with non2haze period, Phe,Ant,Flu,Pyr,BaA,Chr,IcdP,DahA and BghiP were more abundant in haze period in summer, and BaF,BeP,BaP,Pery,IcdP, DahA and BghiP were more abundant in haze period in winter. The BEQ values were 315 ng m - 3, 3135 ng m - 3, 1143 ng m - 3 and 1310 ng m - 3 in non2haze in summer, in haze in summer, in non2haze in winter and in haze in winter, respectively. The BEQ values in non2haze in summer, in haze in summer and in non2haze in winter in Guangzhou (average : 2176 ng m - 3 ) were relatively low in Chinese cities, and comparable with oversea cities. However, the BEQ value in haze in winter was relatively high in Chinese cities. It indicated that haze in winter would impair human health seriously. The diagnostic ratios suggested gasoline and diesel vehicle emission were main sources of PAHs in summer, and diesel vehicle and coal combustion emission were main sources of PAHs in winter ; PAHs may come from both local sources and long2range transportation in non2haze in winter.
