Abstract
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) solutions in the concentration range 10-100 mu g PAN per mi solvent were distributed and analyzed by ten European laboratories. Overall precision accounting for standards' preparation , transport, storage and analysis resulted in standard deviations of 1 6 +/- 8% of the mean for the high- and 25 +/- 8% for the low-end of th e concentration range. Following alkaline PAN hydrolysis, nitrite anio ns were determined, mostly by chemically suppressed ion chromatography , with better precision than the acetate anions.
