AB  - In this study, the concentration of ambient persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were measured for 12 months in urban 
      and semi-urban areas using a passive air sampler. During the sampling period, a 
      total of 14 PAH ( summation operator(14)PAH) concentrations measured in urban and semi-urban areas 
      were found to be 54.4 +/- 22.6 ng/m(3) and 51.7 +/- 34.3 ng/m(3), respectively. 
      Molecular diagnostic ratios (MDRs) were used to determine PAH sources. According 
      to the MDR values, combustion sources were the most important PAH sources in both 
      sampling areas. However, since the urban area is close to the industrial zone, 
      the combustion sources occurred at high temperatures (> 800  degrees C), while the 
      sources in the semi-urban area generally consisted of petrogenic fuel combustion. 
       summation operator(50)PCB concentrations measured in the urban and semi-urban areas were found to 
      be 522.5 +/- 196.9 pg/m(3) and 439.5 +/- 166.6 pg/m(3), respectively. Homologous 
      group distributions were used to determine the source of PCBs. According to the 
      homologous group distributions, tri-, tetra-, and penta-chlorinated PCBs were 
      dominant in both sampling areas.  summation operator(10)OCP concentrations measured in urban and 
      semi-urban areas were found as 242.5 +/- 104.6 pg/m(3) and 275.9 +/- 130.9 pg/m(3), 
      respectively. Also, alpha-HCH/gamma-HCH and beta-/(alpha + gamma)-HCH ratios were used to determine 
      the source of OCPs. Lindane was the predominant OCP in both sampling areas.
