Knowing the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution properties in ocean is highly needed to protect the open sea. In July to August of 2020, twenty surface water samples were obtained from the East China Sea to the Philippine Sea. The ranges of Σ₁₅PAHs concentrations were 3.188–5.29 ng L⁻¹ in dissolved phase, 0.455–1.305 ng L⁻¹ in particulate phase in the Philippine Sea. 3, 4-Ring PAHs were the most abundant PAHs. Their spatial differences in dissolved phase were mainly caused by human activities, the summer monsoon from the Philippine Islands and the Northern Equatorial Current, and the Kuroshio Current and Subtropical Countercurrent. The source analysis showed that PAHs in surface water in the Philippine Sea may come from coal combustion. It is the first time to analyze the occurrence and distribution of PAHs in the Philippine Sea.
