Seasonal variability and source diagnostics of ambient PAHs in Agra, India, using the CBPF and their health risk evaluation
Abstract
dermal and ingestion pathways. These findings underscore the need for season-specific air pollution mitigation strategies, cleaner fuels, and stricter emissions controls. The study contributes to environmental chemistry by enhancing the understanding of TSP-bound PAH behaviour, exposure pathways, and health risks in urban residential zones, thereby supporting evidence-based policymaking aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 11.
