J. Lintelmann et al., ON-SITE SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION AND COUPLED-COLUMN HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF 6 POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS IN WATER, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 352(7-8), 1995, pp. 735-742
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination
of fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo (k)fluoranthene, benzo(a
)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene in water is p
resented. The analytical procedure consists of on-site solid-phase ext
raction of the analytes on a selective sample column using a new devic
e, transport and integration of the loaded sample column into a HPLC-s
ystem and coupled-column HPLC-analysis. The method allows reliable qua
ntification of the PAHs at the low ng/l-level in particle-free as well
as in particle-containing surface water.
