A diesel vehicle exhaust concentrations and emission factors of priorities polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their respective concentrations in the diesel fuel used during the vehicle emissions testing were determined in order to estimate the fuel PAHs contribution to vehicle emissions. Combustion products are collected directly from the raw vehicle exhaust using a constant volume sampling system that does not employ exhaust products dilution. The particle-phase PAHs were sampled in stratified way using a Micro-orifice Uniforme Deposite Impactor (MOUDI) and glass fiber filter as substrates and the gas-phase PAHs were sampled using Amberlite XAD-2 cartridge. The PAHs concentrations in the engine lubricant oil were also monitored over time until its change after 12,000 km of use. After sample extractions and treatments, the PAHs identification and quantification were performed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and programmable temperature vaporization large volume injection (PTV-LVI). Five PTV parameters were optimized using statistical design experiments, which allowed to be obtained detection limits below 2.0 µg L-1. Only 7 of 16 priority PAH were identified in exhaustion: NAP, ACY, ACE, FLU, FEN, FLT and PYR. The vehicle emission tests were carried out with the vehicle in stationary mode, without load, low engine speed (1500 rpm), using diesel fuel with lower sulfur (10 mg kg-1) and 5% v/v biodiesel. These factors may have contributed to reduce the other 9 PAH emissions to values below the detection limits of the method developed. Approximately 80% of the PAHs total mass associated with the particulate matter were present in particle size between 1.0 µm and 56 nm and approximately 4.5% were present in particles smaller than 56 nm. Particles smaller than 2.5 µm are easily inhaled and deposited in the respiratory tract and in the alveolar region, justifying the concern about PAHs emissions associated with particles from vehicle exhaust diesel engine. Only 5 of the 7 PAHs identified in exhaust were detected in diesel fuel: NAP, ACY, FLU, PHE and PYR. The ratio between the PAHs emission factors in exhaust (µg L-1 diesel) and their respective concentrations in diesel fuel (µg L-1) ranged from 0.01 ± 0.02 a 0.05 ± 0.029, depending on the PAH. These values indicate that al least 95 to 99% of the PAH identified in diesel fuel were destroyed and/or converted into other compounds during the combustion, and/or been retained in lubricant oil reservoir. On the other hand, PAHs that had higher concentration in diesel also had higher exhaust emission factors, which suggests that the PAH from diesel have a mean contribution to total PAHs emissions. The PAH priority profile in lubricant oil was similar to PAH profile in diesel and in vehicle exhaust, where the NAP, FEN and PYR were the majorities PAHs
