Land use regression (LUR) models have been used to model concentrations of mainly traffic related air pollutants (nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) mass or absorbance). Few LUR models are published of PM composition, whereas the interest in health effects related to particle composition is increasing. The aim of our study was to evaluate LUR models of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), hopanes/steranes and elemental and organic carbon (EC/OC) content of PM2.5. In 10 European study areas PAH, hopanes/steranes and EC/OC concentrations were measured at 16-40 sites per study area. LUR models for each study area were developed based on annual average concentrations and predictor variables including traffic, population, industry, natural land obtained from geographic information systems. The highest median model explained variance (R2) was found for EC - 84%. The median R2 was 51% for OC, 67% for benzo[a]pyrene and 38% for sum of hopanes/steranes, with large variability between study areas. Traffic predictors were included in most models. Population and natural land were included frequently as additional predictors. The moderate to high explained variance of LUR models and the overall moderate correlation with PM2.5 model predictions support the application of especially the OC and PAH models in epidemiological studies.
