APPLICATION OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF AIR-POLLUTION IN CHINA

A review of chromatographic studies on air pollution in China is prese nted. Gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography ar e two of the techniques most commonly used. Various aspects of investi gations of environmental potential carcinogens, such as polycyclic aro matic hydrocarbons and nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are dis cussed. In addition, studies on greenhouse effect trace gases and othe r hazardous or toxic pollutants on air particulates from or in the vap our phase (gaseous phase) in many cities in China have also been carri ed out.
