Over recent years INERIS has carried out PAH measurements in ambient air. The aim of these studies is to propose methods which could be used by air quality monitoring networks in order to meet future regulations. INERIS used high volume samplers to collect PAH in particulate phase and in gaseous phase, and analysed 17 compounds. During field campaigns in urban sites, INERIS worked in close relation with LHVP, which has an experience in the low volume samplers.
