Abstract
Based on the PKU-PAHs emission inventory, global atmospheric transport of benzo[ɑ]pyrene was simulated with the consideration of its major environmental behaviors including gas–particle partitioning, air degradation, dry/wet deposition, and air–surface exchange. A BaP module was incorporated into MOZART-4 (The Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers, version 4). Near-surface concentrations were obtained from the model performance.
