Abstract
PCDD, PCDF and PCB concentration levels in urban air were measured by HRGC/HRMS system. The seasonal variations in PCDD/DF and PCB were only slight. The concentration levels of PCDD/DF in winter were higher tha n in summer but concentration levels of PBC in summer were higher than in winter. It seems that low chorinated biphenyls in back-ground evap olate to air in summer. The TEqs in urban air were estimated by method of Safe et al.. PCDF contributed to toxicity mainly in urban air.
