Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) belong to this group of compounds which reveal mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. These compounds are persistent in the environment, and long time exposure even at low concentrations can cause health effect dangerous to a human. The paper describes formation of nitro-PAHs in the air which is a complex process, depending on many factors (weather conditions, presence of other pollutants in the ambient air). The sources of nitro-PAHs formation migration and their transformation in the environment are presented
