“…The technique of the fluorescence analysis of thin-layer chromatograms has been used extensively to determine the content of aromatic hydrocar bons in air pollution studies (Sawicki et al } 1967). Compounds such as benzo[a]pyrene, the benzacridines, and others are potent carcinogens.…”

“…Aza-arenes are formed as trace pollutants during incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of nitrogen-containing substances that are found in cigarette smoke (2-4), urban suspended particulate matter (5-7), automobile exhaust (8,9), and industrial stack effluents (10). They are also present in coal tar (11,12), crude oil t13, 14), and high boiling petroleum distillates (15,16).…”

The BAcs were extracted from cigarette filter tips with chlorobenzene in a Soxhlet apparatus, purified by liquid-liquid partition and column chromatography, and then analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using fluorescence detection. Recoveries of BAcs spiked at 1907 I908 KAMATA ET AL. 0.5 ng/tip were 81.2-90.4%, and the limit of detection was found to be 5 pg. Typically, smoked cigarette filter tips were found to contain the known carcinogens benz[c]acridine and 9-methylbenz[c]acridine. The identification of peaks in each sample chromatogram was confirmed by comparing the retention times and the fluorescence spectra with its standard respectively.
