Beschreibung: For decades, the presence and potential health risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor dust have been extensively investigated while with limited attention to oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs). In this study, we collected 45 indoor dust from four microenvironments in Guangzhou City, China, and then focused on the co-occurrence of 16 PAHs and 8 OPAHs and their potential carcinogenic risk to humans. The ΣPAHs concentrations, dominated by 4–6 ring PAHs, ranged from 1761 to 14,290?ng/g (mean of 6058?ng/g) without significant difference in the different microenvironments (Tukey, p > 0.05). The OPAHs were observed with concentrations from 250 to 5160?ng/g (mean of 1646?ng/g), and anthraquinone (AQ) was identified as the main OPAHs with significantly high levels in the residential environment than in instrumental rooms. Notably, AQ dominated over the other target analytes in dust in this study. Our results indicated that PAHs and OPAHs in indoor dust were from outdoor environments, which mainly originated from vehicular exhaust and biomass/coal combustion. A potential cancer risk of PAHs and OPAHs to local adults and children was observed via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption, with the main contribution from benzo[a]pyrene and dibenz[a,h]anthracene. ? 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
