period. The ratio of COMBPAH/ PAH reveals combustion sources when close to 1 (
lebih rendah daripada yang dilaporkan
Ravindra et al., 2008 ). In this study the average ratio was 0.91 ± 0.07 with a decreasing
trend during summer suggesting strong pyrogenic source contri- butions. The average
FLT/(FLT + PYR) ratio was found to be 0.55 during the whole sampling period
indicating pyrogenic emissions ( Katsoyiannis et al., 2011 ). Particularly, during summer
and spring the ratio exceeded the value of 0.5 revealing grass/wood/coal com- bustion.
During the cold months, values were 0.49 for autumn and 0.48 for winter suggesting
influences from fossil fuel combus- tions. However, ratios were very close to 0.5 which
shows mixed combustion sources ( De La Torre-Roche et al., 2009 ). The ratio of
BaA/(BaA + CHR) was measured over 0.35 during the entire sam- pling campaign
which shows the clear dominance of pyrogenic sources ( Katsoyiannis et al., 2011 ).
Same pyrogenic sources were also indicated from the IPY/(IPY + BPE) ratio which was
in the range of 0.2–0.5 which attributes to petroleum combustion ( Yunker et al., 2002 ).
The ratio of ANT/(ANT + PHE) was calculated only for the cold months (0.51 and 0.23
for autumn and winter, respectively) and found over 0.1 which reflects pyrogenic
sources. ANT was found below detection limits during the warm months; thus, the latter
ratio wasn't calculated. In addition, ANT experiences faster photodegradation than PHE
and therefore has different chemical behavior ( Czaplicka et al., 2019 ). The above ratios
mostly attribute to combustion sources of various materials although petrochem- ical
activities are present near the sampling area. The DRs pre- sented here are parallel with
those reported for other Greek cities ( Mantis et al., 2005 ) which also suggest effects
from pyrogenic sources, however seasonal variability wasn't observed in this work which
highlights the serious influence of combustion processes.

MCA contributor. The ratio of C18:1/C18 is of- ten used to determine aerosol aging
levels, with lower value corre- sponding to more aged aerosols ( Cao et al., 2017 ). The
double bond in the C18:1 molecule increases its reactivity with the atmospheric oxidants,
such as O 3 and OH radicals, compared to stearic acid ( Deshmukh et al., 2019 ). The
seasonal average ratios are shown in Table 3 . It is clear that the ratio is increased when
direct emissions are more intense, during autumn and winter. However, the highest
average ratio was observed during spring (0.37 ± 0.31), possibly due to the dust
transports events which loaded the aerosols with fresh particles from soil and/or road
suspension. Similar finding has been reported recently, in New Delhi, where C18:1/C18
ratios reached their maximum concentrations during dust storm events ( Kang et al.,
2016 ).
