Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) have been monitored in air and deposition at four UK urban sites (London, Cardiff, Manchester and Stevenage) since the beginning of 1991; data from the first 2 years are presented here. Median Sigma 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/F concentrations in air were 3.2, 4.0, 3.5 and 2.6 pg/cubic metre respectively for London, Cardiff, Manchester and Stevenage. Median Sigma 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/F deposition fluxes were 1.5 ng/m** (2)/day in London, 1.4 ng/m** (2)/day in Cardiff and Manchester and 0.79 ng/m** (2)/day in Stevenage. Seasonal variations in the PCDD/F concentrations were observed at all sites for both air and deposition, with concentrations/fluxes generally elevated during the winter.
