Isolation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in air particulate matter by liquid chromatography

Flame ionization detector response factors for compound classes in quantitative analysis of complex organic mixtures

“…The interferences among the numerous components in a complex mixture can be minimized or eliminated by use of preseparation or cleanup procedures. Among various separation procedures, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has definite advantages which have led to its increasing use in the analysis of environmental samples (2,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). High separation efficiency, good reproducibility, and recovery are more easily obtained in HPLC separation.…”

Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in some Canadian commercial fish, shellfish, and meat products by liquid chromatography with confirmation by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

“…GC-MS has been used for PAH analyses in biological samples (Lintas et al, 1979;Grimmer and Bóhnke, 1975). Both HPLC and GC have been used together either for HPLC fractionation prior to GC analysis (Romanowski et al, 1982) or for comparative purposes (Eadie et al, 1982). In this work we use both techniques for the determination of selected PAH in a variety of fish and meat samples.…”

A capillary column gas chromatography, resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, laser-induced fluorescence, flame ionization detection system for the determination of polynuclear aromatic compounds in complex mixtures

“…Based on the large number of application papers recently published, CC/GC-MS is currently the method of choice for the determination of PAC in complex environmental samples (18,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81)(82)(83)(84). The combination of the high chromatographic resolution of CC/GC and the rapid scanning capabilities of an appropriate mass spectrometer provides a highly selective tool for the qualitative determination of components of complex samples.…”
