Abstract
Organic material extracted from airborne particulate matter collected in various places of Upper Silesia has been separated by column liquid adsorption chromatography. Six fractions of different polarity have b een eluted. These fractions have undergone careful spectral analysis, thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Se veral PAH oxygen derivatives which have not been found in air from our Region so far were identified. Their biological activity is higher th an activity of basic PAH structures. These compounds can be responsibl e to a high degree for interference in living organism functions in th is highly polluted region.
