摘      要：Open burning of municipal solid waste(MSW)is a common practice in *** of compounds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAHs)in ambient air and ash residues from burning of these wastes pose a great danger to the *** study investigated the contribution of open burning of MSW to the levels of PAHs in ambient air and ash residues from the burning *** samples were obtained from six sampling locations at a MSW burning *** foam passive samplers were used in collecting ambient air *** of PAHs was carried out using GC-MS operated in selected ion monitoring *** trend of ambient concentration of PAHs was;ΣPAHs AS-A(4.023)AS-B(3.798)AS-D(3.468)AS-C(3.288),while average concentration of PAHs in the ash was 6.12 mg/*** of PAHs in ash samples ranged from 5.69-6.34 mg/*** component analysis(PCA)showed that most of the PAHs in the ambient were from MSW *** results obtained suggest that concerted effort of the government and the relevant stakeholders is required to safeguard the environment and humans from PAH pollution from open burning of MSW.
