In order to explore the concentration level and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cabin of new cars, air samples of 15 newly produced passenger cars in the gaseous and particulate phases under normal temperature and high temperature conditions were collected by using particulate samplers in series with polyurethane foam (PUF) sleeves. The contents of 16 priority PAHs in the samples were determined by GC-MS, and the health risk assessment of drivers and passengers was carried out. The results show that the average detection rates of 16 PAHs in the gaseous and particulate phases is 2.17 ~ 50.00. Among them, naphthalene (Nap), phenanthrene (Ace), and phenanthrene (Phe) are detected in some sample cars under high and normal temperature conditions, while phenanthrene (Acy) is detected in all sample cars under high and normal temperature conditions, and the rest of the substances are only detected under high temperature conditions. The concentration of PAHs in cabin of cars under high temperature conditions is higher than that under normal temperature conditions, and the concentration in the gas phase is higher than that in the particulate phase. Overall, Nap exhibites the highest concentration. The carcinogenic health risks of Nap, Ace, Phe, and Acy under high temperature conditions range from 3.53 × 10-11 to 4.54 × 10-9, while under normal temperature conditions, they range from 1.70 × 10-11 to 5.16 × 10-9. It can be seen that PAHs in the gas phase and particulate phase in cabin of new cars, can be effectively collected by using particulate matter samplers in series with a polyurethane foam(PUF) sleeves for sampling. The detected concentrations of PAHs in cabin of cars, is low, the overall carcinogenic health risk is less than 10-6, and the carcinogenic risk is low.
