Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is commonly used as an indicator of the carcinogenic risk from exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The European target for annual average BaP concentration (1.0 ng/m³) is frequently exceeded in Central Europe. Limited monitoring of BaP in Europe means that air quality and health impact estimates rely on modelled data, although model uncertainties can be large. In this study, four chemical transport models (CHIMERE, GLEMOS, MINNI, and SILAM) estimated BaP concentrations across Europe for 2018. All models estimated the highest levels in Central Europe, Northern Italy, and parts of Eastern Europe, while the lowest concentrations were estimated for northern and remote areas. The models accurately reproduced spatial patterns of annual mean BaP concentrations at rural sites, but performance declined in urban areas.
