Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using GC-MS
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are byproducts of burning fuels, such as mineral oils, and are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. These compounds are regulated in many countries as harmful pollutants in environmental water and the atmosphere. In Japan, the "Measuring method manual for toxic air pollutants" and "Measuring method manual for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in exhaust gas emissions" were revised in March 2011. In addition, environmental standards, including fine particle regulations (PM 2.5 ) and fine particles, can include PAHs. Consequently, there is an increasing need to measure PAHs. This application datasheet introduces an example of measuring 36 PAHs.
