  abstract = {{A}irborne particulate matter ({PM}) and its carbonaceous content (elemental carbon, {EC} and organic carbon, {OC}, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, {PAH}s) were investigated in {H}aiphong and {H}anoi, two major cities in the {N}orthern {V}ietnam, aiming at elucidating the relative importance of local and regional atmospheric pollution. {T}he monthly average ranges of {PM}2.5 were 14-37 mu g m(-3) in {H}aiphong, and 35-102 mu g m(-3) in {H}anoi, respectively, during the period 2020-2023. {EC}, {OC} and {PAH} concentrations annually averaged 2.1 +/- 1.3 mu g m(-3), 4.9 +/- 3.1 mu g m(-3) and 4.4 +/- 2.6 ng m(-3) in {H}aiphong {PM}10 from {O}ct. 2012 to {O}ct. 2013, and 1.3 +/- 0.9 mu g m(-3), 9.1 +/- 6.2 mu g m(-3) and 5.9 +/- 5.8 ng m(-3) in {H}anoi {PM}2.5 from {O}ct. 2019 to {D}ec. 2020, respectively. {S}easonal variations were observed, with higher values during the dry season (winter) compared to the wet season (summer), as expected according to monsoon meteorological conditions. {H}owever, spatial variations and correlations between {EC}, {OC}, and {PAH}s, along with other markers of human activities (such as levoglucosan, secondary inorganic aerosols and metals), emphasized city-specific influence of local emission sources versus those transported from distant locations. {H}anoi, highly urbanized, appeared to be yearly dominated by the local emissions while {H}aiphong, less urbanized and located near the sea, allowed to highlight seasonal variations in emission origin. {W}hile {PM} values exceeded up to 15 times international air quality recommendations, health risk assessment related to inhaled {PAH}s, in line with previous results relying on metals, remained low to moderate.},
