Standardisation Aspects in PAH/POM Analysis

  • Chapter
Mobile Source Emissions Including Policyclic Organic Species

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 112))

Abstract

For reproducible analyses and reliable control of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and related heterocyclic compounds, the availability of standardised analytical procedures is essential. When national or international regulations are issued or developed, standardised analytical methods are usually mandatory.

In the light of such standardisation requirements, the following aspects are reviewed and discussed:

  • — sampling and sample treatment

  • — analytical techniques (including screening methods)

  • — priority list for PAH/POM analysis.

The capabilities of various analytical methods are reviewed, such as capillary gas chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, thin layer chromatography and low temperature luminescence spectrophotometry. A candidate list of high priority PAH/POM compounds, including some representative heterocyclic compounds, which is based on occurrence in environmental emissions, health effects and analytical considerations, is discussed.

Finally, some activities carried out in support of harmonisation and standardisation efforts in PAH/POM analysis are described:

  • — preparation and characterisation of high purity compounds which is oriented on priority list for PAH/POM analysis;

  • — systematic determination and collection of molecular spectra under standard conditions of a comprehensive range of PAH/POM compounds of environmental significance.
