PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) Analysis
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) exist in petroleum products and byproducts such as gasoline, diesel/jet fuels, lubricant and heating oils, and asphalt. PAHs are also byproducts of all combustions. As a result, PAHs can be found in the exhausts of all engines burning fossil fuels, as well as smokes of any kind. PAHs are ubiquitous especially those of the lower molecular weight ones such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, etc. Some PAHs are human carcinogens or suspected carcinogens such as benzo(a)pyrene and dibenz(a,h)anthracene which require vigorous monitoring. Detecting PAHs in ambient air and engine exhaust emission samples poses special challenge due to the extremely wide spread of PAH concentrations. For example, the concentration difference between naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene can be as much as 10,000 times or more. SwRI has developed an elegant proprietary analytical scheme which accurately quantifies all PAHs in the samples. Isotope dilution techni
