A simple device consisting of a Petri dish containing cellulose paper soaked with paraffin oil (hereinafter defined artificial leaf , AL) was deployed in a typical urban site and paritioning of a set of PAHs between the atmosphere and AL was investigated. Gas-phase PAHs rapidly equilibrate with AL, thus rendering it a promising cost-effective tool for spatial and temporal trends studies of air quality.
