Vehicular influence on atmospheric concentrations and source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in some major cities in three regions of Ghana using epiphytic lichens

The present study employed epiphytic lichens as biomonitor and passive air sampler for the assessment of fifteen (15) atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in some major cities in three regions of Ghana. A total of 36 composite lichen samples were collected and analysed using Gas Chrom...
