对瑞士一个山区城镇附近土壤的分析表明，多环芳烃(PAH)的含量与高速公路附近的距离之间存在相关性。多环芳烃的含量范围从高速公路附近的300 mg/kg干土壤到周围较高阿尔卑斯山的4-8 mg/kg。多环芳烃的组成范围从三元环到八元环以及重烷基取代的衍生物。多环芳烃混合物比过去设想的要复杂得多，与汽车尾气相似。城镇靠近工业但远离高速公路的低值，以及城镇外靠近高速公路的高PAH值表明，汽车流量与土壤中多环芳烃含量之间存在相关性。这些结果还间接地表明了该地区汽车交通和观察到的癌症死亡率之间的相关性。
Analyses of soils in the vicinity of a Swiss mountain town show a correlation between the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and the proximity to a highway. PAH contents range from 300 mg/kg dry soil near the highway to 4-8 mg/kg in the surrounding higher alps. The PAH composition ranges from three- to eight-membered rings and to heavily alkyl-substituted derivatives. The PAH mixtures are far more complex than was assumed in the past and resemble that of automobile exhaust. The low values in town close to industry but remote from the highway, and high PAH values outside of town but near the highway suggest a correlation between automobile traffic and PAH content of soils. These results indirectly suggest also a correlation between the automobile traffic and the observed mortality from cancer in this area.
