Summary

A selective and sensitive HPLC method for the determination of Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]p) in oil fractions by means of column switching is described. The diluted oil samples were injected directly onto a silica column with isooctane as eluent. After fast elution of the main part of the sample matrix, the B[a]p containing fraction was transferred on-line to a dinitro-aryl-modified silica column for final separation with isooctane/tetrahydrofuran. A detection limit of 50 ppt B[a]p was found when using fluorescence detection.
