TI  - Photolysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons adsorbed on spruce [Picea abies 
      (L) Karst] needles under sunlight irradiation.

AB  - Photolysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) sorbed on surfaces of 
      spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] needles under sunlight irradiation was 
      investigated. PAHs were produced by combustion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), wood, 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and styrene in a stove. The factors of sunlight 
      irradiation on the surfaces of spruce needles were taken into consideration when 
      investigating the kinetic parameters. The photolysis of the 18 PAHs under study 
      follows first-order kinetics. The photolysis half-lives range from 15 h for 
      dibenzo(a,h)anthracene to 75 h for phenanthrene. Photolysis of some PAHs on 
      surfaces of spruce needles may play an important role on the fate of PAHs in the 
      environment.
