AB  - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in road dust (RD) and construction dust 
      (CD) in PM(2.5) were quantified in the samples collected in 20 Chinese cities. 
      The PAHs profiles in urban PM(2.5) fugitive dusts were determined and their 
      potential health risks were evaluated. Seven geographical regions in China were 
      identified as northwest China (NWC), the North China Plain (NCP), northeast China 
      (NEC), central China (CC), south China (SC), southwest China (SWC), and east 
      China (EC). The overall average concentrations of total quantified PAHs (SigmaPAHs) 
      were 23.2 +/- 18.9 and 22.8 +/- 29.6 mug.g(-1) in RD and CD of PM(2.5), indicating 
      that severe PAHs pollution to urban fugitive dusts in China. The differences of 
      SigmaPAHs between RD and CD were minor in northern and central regions of China but 
      much larger in southern and east regions. The ƩPAHs for RD displayed a pattern of 
      "high in northern and low in southern", and characterized by large abundance of 
      high molecular weights (HMWs) PAHs, indicating that vehicle emission was the 
      predominant pollution origin. Additionally, higher diagnostic ratios of 
      fluoranthene/(fluoranthene + pyrene) in NCP, CC, and SWC suggest critical 
      contributions of biomass burning and coal combustion for RD in these areas. In 
      comparison, gasoline combustion was the major pollution source for CD PAHs in 
      NWC, NCP, NEC, and CC, whereas industrial emissions such as cement production and 
      iron smelting had strong impacts in the heavy industrial regions. The total 
      benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) carcinogenic potency concentrations (BaP(TEQ)) for RD and CD 
      both showed the lowest in SC (0.05 and 0.07, respectively) and the highest in NCP 
      (10.99 and 7.67, respectively). The highest and lowest incremental life cancer 
      risks (ILCR) were found in NCP and SC, coinciding with the spatial distributions 
      of ambient PAHs levels. The total CD-related cancer risks for adults and children 
      (~10(-4)) suggest high potential health risks in NCP, SWC, and NWC, whereas the 
      evaluated values in EC and SC indicate virtual safety (</=10(-6)).
