Abstract
Conditions were optimized for the separation of priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by high-performance liquid chromatography on short narrow-bore columns (2 × 75 mm). Twelve PAHs were determined by the direct injection of preconcentrated extracts from highly contaminated soil, solid phase of snow water, an aerosol, and surface water. PAH peaks were identified using retention times and spectral ratios (R). In the case of the detection of nonhomogeneous peaks (by the R value), the repeated separation of the sample was proposed with a change in the selectivity of the mobile phase, detection wavelength, and column temperature. The spread of the results of measurements of the PAH mass was estimated at different deviations of R from the standard value.
