The current study was conducted to determine Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmospheric total suspended particles (TSP) in Al- Diwaniyah city southern of Iraq. To achieve this, seven sites were identified in different location within the city. The results showed that the annual mean of PAHs concentrations ranged between non-detectable (ND) for Phen and BaA, and 2621.62 ng.m-3 for Chry. The findings showed that the annual mean of ∑11 PAHs reach 5031.44 ng.m-3.
