Thirty-two　PM2.5　samples　were　collected　in　Taizhou,　a　city　in　southeast　China　famous　for　its　e-waste　recycling　industry.　The　average　concentration　of　PAHs　in　the　samples　near　the　e-waste　dismantling　area　(FJ)　was　133.7　ng　m(-3),　indicating　that　the　atmosphere　was　heavily　polluted.　The　concentrations　PAHs　were　much　higher　in　winter　than　in　autumn　and　summer,　and　they　were　comprised　mainly　of　species　with　4-5　rings.　High　concentrations　of　1,3,5-triphenylbenzene　(Quaterphenyl,　QP)　were　found　at　FJ,　and　significant　correlation　between　QP　and　the　total　concentrations　of　PAHs　was　found　at　FJ　but　not　at　the　comparing　urban　site.　High　concentration　of　QP　indicated　the　important　contribution　of　PAHs　from　burning　of　plastic/polymer,　and　should　be　characteristic　for　the　fine　particles　from　e-waste　dismantling.　Source　identification　with　PAH　ratios　showed　that　petroleum　and　coal/biomass　combustion　were　also　important　sources　of　the　PAHs,　and　the　contribution　of　coal/biomass　burning　was　more　important　in　winter　than　in　summer.　The　results　of　diurnal　variation　of　PAHs　at　FJ　in　summer　showed　that　the　nighttime　concentrations　were　obviously　higher　than　those　in　the　daytime,　and　emissions　from　uncontrolled　illegal　open　burning　of　e-wastes　during　nighttime　should　be　a　reason.
