AB  - A multimedia fugacity model with spatially resolved environmental phases at an 
      urban scale was developed. In this model, the key parameter, organic matter, was 
      replaced with black carbon (BC) and applied to simulate the distributions of 
      phenanthrene (Phe), pyrene (Pyr) and benzo[alpha]pyrene (BaP) in Nanjing, China. 
      Based on the estimated emissions and measured inflows of air and water, the Phe, 
      Pyr and BaP concentrations in different environment media were calculated under 
      steady-state assumptions. The original model (OC-Model), BC-inclusive model (dual 
      C-Model) and improved model (BC-Model) were validated by comparing observed and 
      predicted Phe, Pyr and BaP concentrations. Our results suggested that lighter 
      polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were more affected by BC substitution 
      than their heavier counterparts. We advocate the utilization of sorption with BC 
      in future multimedia fate models for lighter PAHs based on the comparison of the 
      calculated and observed values from measured and published sources. The spatial 
      distributions of the Phe, Pyr and BaP concentrations in all phases were 
      rationally mapped based on the calculated concentrations from the BC-Model, 
      indicating that soil was the dominant sink of PAHs in terrestrial systems, while 
      sediment was the dominant sink of PAHs in aquatic systems.
