T. Wiedmann et al., HRGC-MS OF POLYCHLORINATED PHENANTHRENES (PCPHEN), DIBENZOTHIOPHENES (PCDT), DIBENZOTHIANTHRENES (PCTA), AND PHENOXATHIINS (PCPT), Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 359(2), 1997, pp. 176-188
Polychlorinated phenanthrenes (PCPhen, Cl-x Phen, x = 1-10), dibenzoth
iophenes (PCDT, ClxDT, x = 1-8), thianthrenes (PCTA, Cl(x)TA, x = 1-8)
, and phenoxathiins (PCPT, ClxPT, x = 1-8) were synthesized and analyz
ed by high resolution capillary gas chromatography and EI and NCI mass
spectrometry. In experiments the formation of polychlorinated phenant
hrenes and dibenzothiophenes in combustion processes has been proved a
nd compounds of these two classes have been detected in dust samples o
f an urban motorway tunnel.
