移動污染源為都市大氣環境中多環芳香烴化合物( Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs )之主要來源之一。本研究目的係探討移動性污染源排放PAHs在道路周遭環境之流佈及對附近居家環境之影響，選擇台中地區交通流量較大之道路為交通污染組(Traffic sources)及南投市區低交通流量之狹小巷弄為背景對照組(Background)。進行室外大氣粗細懸浮微粒(PM2.5及PM10-2.5)之採樣，分析二十八種PAHs含量，比較交通污染組與背景對照組PAHs組成之差異，並探討交通流量與PAHs濃度之相關性。同時進行鄰近居家室內空氣(PM10)之採樣，比較室內外PAHs組成之差異與相關性。
研究結果發現，大氣中PAHs在粗微粒及細微粒上均為交通污染源測站之濃度高於對照組之濃度，以不同質性之道路分別討論交通污染源排放對大氣PAHs濃度之貢獻，結果發現在汽油車道路粗微粒及細微粒PAHs濃度均較柴油車道路及對照組高。進一步比較兩種不同車道與總車輛數及總排氣量之相關性，細微粒PAHs濃度之相關性顯著高於粗微粒之相關性，顯示細微粒PAHs之主要來源為移動污染源，而粗微粒PAHs之主要來源則為非移動污染源。另發現柴油車道路PAHs濃度之相關性較汽油車道路更為顯著，且柴油車道路之迴歸係數亦較汽油車道路更高，顯示每增加單位車輛數(100輛)或增加單位排氣量(1000 m3)，柴油車道路所貢獻PAHs均較汽油車道路為高。
室內PAHs濃度與室外PAHs呈明顯正相關之趨勢，且均達統計上顯著水準(P<0.05)，且室內PAHs濃度亦與總排氣量有良好之相關性。比較柴油車及汽油車兩種道路其排放污染源對居家室內環境之影響，發現室內PAHs濃度與總排氣量之相關性，均是汽油車道路較柴油車道路顯著，此係因本研究採樣柴油車道路位置較偏僻，大氣擴散條件較佳，以致於進入室內之PAHs相對較少；反之，汽油車道路大都位於高樓林立之市區內，汽油車輛排放之PAHs不易擴散，造成有較多之室外PAHs進入室內之故。
本研究地區居民之致癌風險值高於美國環境保護署(U.S. EPA)所建議之標準(10-6)，且交通污染地區之致癌風險較對照組高，其中汽油車道路之風險高於柴油車道路，顯示市區內之居民易因高交通流量而暴露到較高濃度之PAHs，而增加其致癌之風險。
