Mar. Delgado et al., DETERMINATION OF POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL-SAMPLES BY MICELLAR LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, HRC. Journal of high resolution chromatography, 19(2), 1996, pp. 111-116
A method for the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
by high-performance liquid chromatography using a hybrid micellar mob
ile phase is described. The detection of PAHs was carried out using th
e fluorescence method with programmable excitation and emission wavele
ngth. The method is applied to the analysis of several environmental s
amples (sea water, sediments, limpets, sea worms) and several of these
compounds are quantitated at concentrations below 70 ng L(-1)(kg(-1))
in the original samples.
